Hello brahs. I was wondering if I could pick your collective brains for a film watch list I'm working on for 1979. I would have said "obscure films" if speaking to a general audience, however, that would be silly here as no films are really obscure to genuine film fans. For reference, I'm talking about films in the zone of Zombie (1979), directed by Lucio Fulci. Films that are good and still remembered today, but won't be in anyone's "Top Ten" list. Thank you!

I’ll have to see a list of movies that came out in 1979. I’m sure I could list 5 of them.

IMDb used to let you sort the movies you've rated by release date. Among many other shitty decisions they made that made their site worse, they got rid of that option. If I could see which movies were made in that year then I'd give you a list, but unfortunately I can't.

I know Phantasm isn't exactly lesser-known, but I can't think of much else to fit the bill.
If you liked Zombie, you may like these:

1979 was a fine year for obscure films.
Breaking Away - it should not be an obscure film but it is, even though it was nominated for Best Picture, which is astounding considering how often the Oscars gets these things wrong, it is largely forgotten, if you can find the special edition blu ray get it, it's not a perfect film and I doubt anyone will be surprised by the ending but in spite of that I had a big smile on my face when it was over
Dracula - people tend to overlook this movie, though I believe it is the closest to the brilliant original novel, I would love for a cleaned up blu ray, Langella so much better than others at Dracula
Hair - a contrast between stunning mediocrity throughout the first 90% of the film that leads to an unforgettable last 10%, worth a rental, for a musical a lot of the music is tiresome and uninspired, except the final
Murder by Decree - Sherlock Holmes vs Jack the Ripper! Christopher Plummer is quite good as Holmes, some surprises and some disturbing scenes, definitely not the typical Holmes film
