1979 wasn’t the best year.
Revolutionaries stormed the Tehranian embassy, McDonald’s kicked off the obesity crisis with the invention of the Happy Meal, and there were still two or three years of disco to suffer through.
It’s a different story had you spent the year munching popcorn at your local cinema. ALIEN, THE JERK, 10, APOCALYPSE NOW, MAD MAX—1979 was a banner year for Hollywood, chock full of small gems and groundbreaking blockbusters alike.
40 years on, join us in paying tribute to these classics and help us decide just how well they hold up.

Hailed as one of the funniest movies of all time, The Jerk stars Steve Martin as Navin Johnson, the adopted son of a poor black sharecropping family in Mississippi. When he learns that the world is a much bigger place than he’d ever imagined, Navin sets out on a quest to find his “special purpose.”
His adventures lead him to encounter a would-be assassin, jobs in carnivals and gas stations, a life-saving dog, romance with the girl of his dreams and more money than he could ever spend. But his life in the clouds may come crashing down when the source of his new fame and fortune creates disastrous side effects.
