THE VISITOR (1979)
A truly nuts lost 70s sci-fi(?)/horror(?) classic(?) involving an evil tween, her pet falcon that pecks out people’s eyes, people in wheelchairs getting thrown through large aquariums, dramatic games of Pong, and John Huston slowly walking down the world’s tallest escalator. I love it so much.
KRAMER VS. KRAMER (1979)
Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep fight over custody of a mop-topped little kid who is going to need so much therapy after this.
MANHATTAN (1979)

ALIEN (1979)
A masterpiece of a horror movie. IN SPACE!
