Best Film of 1978 (ongoing survey)
A quick note:
I know we've got polls like this all the time around here, but I figure this one will be a little more comprehensive and perhaps even informative. This thread will be for your pick for best film released during 1978 (think Oscar considerations for what's eligible). I'm not making it a poll because whether you like it or not, that would influence some people's choice. Results will be posted in this thread, and all subsequent threads for each year, and they will be ongoing... so you can still vote here even weeks after other year's polls have begun. Please start your post with your #1 film from 1978 (try to limit it to one - after all, that's the point - two at the most (I'll split the vote)), and yes, discussions are more than welcome! Current Leader -- Halloween All Years: 2001 -- (currently) Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring 2000 -- Requiem For a Dream* 1999 -- Fight Club* 1998 -- Saving Private Ryan* 1997 -- L.A. Confidential* 1996 -- Fargo* 1995 -- (currently) Braveheart 1994 -- Pulp Fiction* 1993 -- Schindler's List* 1992 -- Unforgiven* 1991 -- Silence of the Lambs* 1990 -- Goodfellas* 1989 -- Do the Right Thing* 1988 -- Die Hard* 1987 -- Full Metal Jacket* 1986 -- (currently) Aliens 1985 -- Back to the Future* 1984 -- Ghostbusters* 1983 -- Return of the Jedi* 1982 -- (currently) E.T. 1981 -- Raiders of the Lost Ark* 1980 -- The Empire Strikes Back* 1979 -- Apocalypse Now* 1978 -- (currently) Halloween 1977 -- Star Wars* 1976 -- Taxi Driver* 1975 -- Jaws* 1974 -- The Godfather: Part II* 1973 -- (currently) The Exorcist 1972 -- The Godfather* 1971 -- A Clockwork Orange* 1970 -- Patton* 1969 -- (currently) Midnight Cowboy 1968 -- 2001: A Space Odyssey* 1967 -- The Graduate* 1966 -- The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly* 1965 -- Dr. Zhivago* 1964 -- Dr. Strangelove* 1963 -- 8 1/2* 1962 -- Lawrence of Arabia* 1961 -- The Hustler* 1960 -- Psycho* 1959 -- North by Northwest* 1958 -- Vertigo* 1957 If you haven't voted on the previous years, feel free to go back and do so. *Poll closed, winner declared.

Who'll Stop The Rain
if it were favorites, i'd have to take Superman the Movie , but being a big huge fan of the film, doesn't mask its flaws. Days of Heaven is very close up there, too. |

Geezus... I almost missed this one with all of the damn_Star Wars crap out there... (speaking of which, if I were you, I wouldn't even bother opening a thread for 1977 - Go ahead and declare the Lucas flick the winner and move on to 1976)
Anyhoo... Can't believe I'm the first one to vote for this... Dawn Of The Dead

Deer Hunter
Followed closely by Halloween and Animal House - the best of their respective genres by far.

This vote is for those that don't dare. 1)Grease... 'nuff said. *L* And I can't believe nobody even mentioned STALKER on the 1979 poll. That movie is amazing. Apocalypse what?

Philip Kaufman's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
A killer retread of communist paranoia re-tooled for a time when we fear our own masters. Overlooked and incredibly sobering. |

Without question, The Buddy Holly Story. Even though it is not an accurate depiction of Holly's life, the movie is damn entertaining.
