10/10, and saw them all except "Quadrophenia". I didn't like "Star Dreck: The Motion Sickness" but enjoyed all of the others. I'm trying to get a copy of "Being There" on DVD as I have most of the others.
10/10 📽️
Best movie from 1979 was Alien. I saw it as a double feature with the Star Trek movie. Star Trek movie was boring & slow paced. Alien was so intense & I saw it recently & it holds up.
3/10 anothor three?
8 out of 10. Saw "The Black Hole" and hated it. One of the worst Sci- Fi movies that I ever watched

The Black Hole was fun movie. I enjoyed it.
I really didn't like it. Thought the acting was sub par and the special effects were not that Great. You might like "Silent Running" it's a Bruce Dern Film.
The movie QUADROPHENIA wasn't a rock opera. It wasn't even a musical.
Don't even remember that film.
You got 9 out of 10

4/10 = EEESH! LOL
10/10, wow, 1941, what a stinker!
No, it's an underrated classic!!
No.I have to agree with Barry22 it was a stinker.
I agree; I enjoyed it.
9/10 missed #6
10/10! Most of these were DUHS because the wrong answers weren't 1979! 9 is really DUH because the correct answer ts right there on the poster 3 times [not to mention we all saw the FX show with Sam Rockwell]!
I must really be dumb, then. #9 is the only one I missed! I got all the others right. I remember all the hype about "All That Jazz" at the time, but I never actually saw it. I just can't believe that I didn't notice the name "BOB FOSSE" in ALL CAPS on the poster they showed here!
Yep, he wrote, directed, and co-produced it! And really, Jolson's film was 30 years earlier!
You can't be blamed. It's not every day a person makes a (semi)autobiographical movie where the main character dies! LOL
