Mad Max, My Brilliant Career and Tess are all officially from 1979. And the answer that they were released in the USA in 1980 is not valid as you didn't see them in the theater that year.

Cool. I enjoy revisiting these years before I was born and compiling top ten lists. I will participate in the threads.

This are my Favorites, which is not necessarily the same as my list of Best.

Empire Strikes Back
Airplane!
The Shining
Flash Gordon
The Blues Brothers

That's it. Bad year for films. Didn't want to fill the rest of the list with crap that would never be considered "favorite"
