Autumn Sonata is the only movie I love from 1978, but Grease, Pretty Baby, and Heaven Can Wait are decent too.

Belgium Movie Buff 08-04-20 11:42 AM

Superman the movie with Christopher Reeve,s

Wyldesyde19 08-04-20 02:12 PM

Grease surprisingly holds up for me. Was pleasantly surprised.
Halloween and Superman are great.
The Deer Hunter was great, but not a film I would revisit often. Seen it twice 20 years apart.
Heaven Can Wait is ok. Beatty often looked lost in it. Couldn’t stand his open mouthed facial expressions.
