I didn't put a few obvious choices on my list, because I didn't necessarily want to allow for a title that might rule over the others. But 1978 may be, for me, the most fun year for movies ever. I have seen every movie on the list, and with the exception of "Same Time, Next Year" (which is okay, pleasant enough), I like them all very much. They would all be (except for the Alan Alda one) in my all time top 75.
It was somewhat hard to choose five.
1. "Halloween"
2. "Coma"
3. "La Cage Aux Folles"
4. "Jaws 2"
5. "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
I can't wait to read people's picks!

It was very good and one of the few Dustin Hoffman performances that I really like. "Magic" was pretty good. Anthony Hopkins used to be very cute, I thought. |

Dawn of the Dead Martin The Deer Hunter Animal House Blue Collar Cool! Please check the boxes so Martin can have his first friend! 🥰 Martin was actually filmed in 76', but copyrighted 77' where it had limited engagements. I think it was more widely released in 78', so I guess that makes it more of a 78' release. Apparently Romero was very fond of this film. |

I got so angry for Jimmie. His victims were very unlikable people. An exceptionally well made, yet disturbing and tough film to sit through. I have seen it twice and I have on dvd, but haven't watched it again yet. I don't think I really want too. The film makes me very angry too. He committed a heinous crime, yet pushed so far that it almost seems acceptable. |

I was thinking a few minutes ago about another way to describe how I feel about the movie. I think Jimmie was a really good guy who did an awful thing whereas his victims were not good people at all and had something terrible happen to them. |
