It’s that time of year—when everyone from Rex Reed to Rex Humbard to Wreckless Eric is listing their ten best movies of the past twelve months. You’ve probably seen the lists already as the accolades pour in for the likes of Apocalypse Now, Norma Rae, Manhattan, China Syndrome and Attack Of The Killer Tomatoes.
Ten best lists bking simple to compile, your “Drive-In Saturday” reporter would like to call your attention to the dregs ofl 979, the flicks that represented the sewer re mnants of a decade. Make no mistake about it: 1979 was the pits-j perhaps the worst year for movie-goers since... well, 1978.
Not that the past year was a total disaster. If you want to look on the bright side, consider at least that 1979 did not include a single John Revolta movie. Whew! Thanks, John.
