From ‘Alien’ To ‘Kramer Vs. Kramer,’ See The Movies Celebrating 40th Anniversaries In 2019
When we recently provided a guide to the films of 1969, it became obvious that there’s no reason the 50-year-olds should have all the fun, so what you’re reading now is our look at some of the film highlights from 1979 which are celebrating 40th anniversaries in 2019. And what’s most impressive is just how many film classics there are among them, from the original Alien (after all those sequels, you may forget just how scary that first film was), to Woody Allen moving more towards serious comedy (as much as that sounds like an oxymoron) with Manhattan, and the second installment of the Rocky saga (which continues to this day in the form of Creed).
