Apocalypse Now is easily the best film of that year.

Good year but gotta be

Apocalypse Now

Being There and Manhattan are close behind

I know Apocalypse Now will win this easily but I've never cared for it. Especially when Brando comes on.

I may be the only one, but I vote for All That Jazz, one of the most brilliant and original films I've ever seen.

Another vote for Apocalypse Now.

We've made it backwards to the time I was 2 years old. I'm running out of time.

Apocalypse Now

My vote goes to All That Jazz

I thought as much - didn't it come out round about the same time as Coming Home? regardless, why then is it on Ebert's list that you posted at the top?

How can that be when Alien is obviously the best of '79? Hrmmmm.... ;)

Going by the release dates on the imdb and the awards in picked up, it's definitely a '78 film... I don't know about Coming Home - I was born in '82 so I'm just going by the available data ;)

As for Ebert putting it on the '79 list, well, he does that sometimes (see Gandhi - on his '83 list) - it's bound to be because he never got to see it in '78 before his list came out, but he felt it definitely good enough to put on the '79 list.

I'm amazed by how many films I see other lesser known critics do this with - I wish everyone would just wait at least a few weeks into the new year to make their lists, but they just don't. Overall, Ebert's pretty good about not doing this.

Apocalypse Now.
