Born in 1979 too and I completely relate! My Dad and I went to a bunch of movies during that period and a lot of times we’d go to like the 9:55 show and most times I’d fall asleep but I’d always try to stay awake just so my Dad would think I wasn’t too young to see these movies so I’d fight every temptation to fall asleep. One of my fondest memories was going to see “The Last Starfighter” in Beaumont,TX while visiting my Grandmother and the theater was so packed that I watched this movie sitting Indian style on the disgusting floor in the second row. I also loved that my Dad is such a movie buff and many times after the movie I saw with him was over we would walk into another theater just to see the ending or 5 minutes of a different picture. Such a different time and I totally miss it!

I was a kid of divorce in the 80s and the weekends with dad regularly included movies, usually the bigger, popular, current ones (Big, Groundhog Day, Dances With Wolves, etc.). Locally we also had a small theater within walking/biking distance that had a dollar show for older movies, I saw so many movies there in the 80s and 90s. Saw Pulp Fiction there. It's wild to look back at releases in those years, every month something classic was coming out.

Possibly the greatest decade for cinema, and this year in particular (1979) just has a banger one after the other…

His take on 'Annie Hall' is a perfect description of how it hit a lot of people, including me. No one really knew why but it was a movie that stuck in your mind. It took awhile to disseminate in your consciousness. 'All That Jazz' was also one of those films that took a moment, being neither a traditional drama nor a traditional musical. The 70's was a diverse and industry-changing decade. Fun to have been young and experienced all these things without references, without precedence, without decades of analysis following you in. Just going in unaware and taking from it what you could.

The Deer Hunter on the big screen and I tell you the Russian roulette scene and when Christopher Walken shot himself, somehow had such an impact on me that I balled afterward.

This is an incredible document. One in a kagillion piece of history. One of Quentin's personal history and of American movies in 1979. I'm relistening already to it and probably will the rest of my remaining days. This means more than you know. Thank you for this gift.

Looking forward to watching these movies again with a new lens. Really appreciative.

"A Little Romance" is terrific. A romance that actually works

I wish Quentin would do more of these! I saw the Deer Hunter as a breaking down and loss of the certainty that comes along with the traditional values, mores, beliefs, etc. typical of immigrant cultures, exemplified and symbolized by the wedding. All that is thrown into question in the larger culture, and also on the individual level from the things they experienced in the war. The famous DeNiro scene "This is this!" a clear attempt to assert a once-believed in certainty and connection to reality that was literally blown apart by the cataclysmic events they went through. Nothing was "this" anymore after that prison camp! And Russian roulette??? With the town being Russian? How perfect as a metaphor for that entire situation, with literally no certainty at all and the next move being one that could literally blow your head off.

. Best part is at the end when he and his interviewer go deep into the deer hunter. Fascinating insights also fascinating is how Tarantino is so self-absorbed he won't let the other person get a word in edgewise he either talks over her or cuts her off or brings the conversation totally back to himself. He's like a 10-year-old kid who's all excited and doesn't really know how to carry on a conversation. Still it's fun to listen to Tarantino talk about the movies he saw as young teenager

As Tarantino observed - "I didn't go to film school, I went to films." What makes him one of the great filmmakers is quite simply his loving obsession with them.

My family got hooked up for Cable TV in November of 1979. I watched just about all of those movies on HBO in 1980. It was a fantastic year for the Cinema.

That said, whilst loving so many of these amazing titles myself, I somehow (aged 10!!) managed to see *one film* theatrically in '79 that QT missed.... ... *Arabian Adventures* starring Christopher Lee..(still got the tie-in novel, also) Hah, gotcha!

Sad, how many of these films are almost forgotten and are not available on bluray.

I was 11 in ‘79 and I saw Escape From Alcatraz pretty much every week that summer. I knew then after I saw about the 3rd time seeing it that it was my film class. I started paying attention to other things like set design. I learned that a set can show you who that character is, the warden for example, he has a bird in a cage, fish in a tank, his books are in a bookcase with doors. He likes things locked up and in there place. This was the year my father expressed that he really didn’t like me so he would drop me off at the movies almost everyday from 11am until around 4pm. I was forbidden to see R flicks but I saw pretty much most of the PG films on double I think about often because they were PG but felt like R that was SLITHIS with TOURIST TRAP. I saw THE FISH THAT SAVED PITTSBURG at the there actually a couple of times. THE BLACK STALLION I saw with my mom and I’ll always remember that one it’s a great poetic film at least that’s how I remember it. That was also the year that FANGORIA came into existence. PROPHECY my friends an I saw that, it came out the first day of summer vacation the theater was packed with kids our age and I can still hear the whole theater screaming and laughing when the kid gets thrown against the rock! Great times for sure.

@@LuckyBastardProdHow then do you really know he didn’t “like” you? You said at first “he expressed” this to you, but in this reply you kind of back pedal a bit. My own father was a quite distant and emotionally shut down, unable to express anything about his own feelings in general or his feelings about me. He was very careful too about even showing any feelings about his children. His own childhood with an almost completely physically absent father no doubt had something to do with this. But stoic emotionally unavailable men were the norm as this was seen as normal and proper behavior for a father and was not just common, but also seen as the ideal way to be a grown man who was a father. So it was natural for North American fathers to be this way and is true for men born in the 1930s, 40s and 50s and maybe even into the 1960s too, before there was any real change to what was regarded as the most “proper” fatherly behavior towards children … especially male children. So did your father actually say something hurtful like that for some inscrutable or cruel reason? Or did you just come to that conclusion at that time as a result of growing up yourself and trying to derive some reason in your own adolescent mind for why he wouldn’t engage with you? I discovered very late in life that my dad just didn’t have to tools to talk to me this way. And as time went on (and he’d even become sober for quite some time) it kind of developed a life of its own. So much time and unspoken words were there and it was clear we both kind of knew there was so much talking to do … that it became an imposing and scary thought about where to begin between two fully grown men … a son in his 40s and a father in his late 60s … that we just … didn’t start … for several years. And then quickly … he was gone. Cancer took him in just a short few weeks that were a blur of doctors and tests and pain and fear. So we never got the chance. I should have pressed harder to fix the “rules” of our relationship while I had the time. I didn’t want to upset him too much though, since it was clear he didn’t like being emotional and it was risky. So I lost the opportunity forever. Don’t make that mistake if you still have time. If you think there might be words that should be be spoken … try your hardest to speak them together so you can feel you’ve done your best while you still have that opportunity. Regret over lost opportunities is a terrible burden.

I think Quentin needs to do this very same thing for every single year up until 1992. The KZread videos he makes could be an encyclopedic collection of movies, and would be the QT version "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies"

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK I'm still waiting for that to get a Blu-ray release.

Absolutely fantastic video and thank you for posting! I’m shocked that he didn’t mention one of my favorite movies “Over The Edge” with Matt Dillon and a tremendous soundtrack! I was actually born in April of 1979 and have seen quite a few of these films but many of these I’ve never heard of. I definitely have a great list of movies to watch over the next few weeks!

Great movie, seems like one he would have seen. I'd never heard of it until hearing Kurt Cobain mention it in an interview. I was born a month after you but had I been 15 when it came out I'd have probably gone to see it multiple times.

It's always amazed me of the sheer number of movies that get made. Multiple productions going on every day of the year.

What talent to channel your love of cinema into great movies.Thank you Mr Tarantino.

I am sickened to learn that QT refuses to see return of the living dead…it is such an all time classic

So Tarantino was 16 years old in 1979, in High School I assume. He must have been taking the bus to see films every few nights, or staying in the theater all weekend, every weekend. It's amazing that there was some kind of outlet like this available where someone could sit in a theater and watch a new professionally produced film for a trivial amount of money. There's many great films being made today of course but watching them is a much more prosaic experience, and I don't find films as memorable. There's no other associated experience, it 's more like one long film that lasts years and years.

He dropped out of middle school.

An epic period for film, especially reflecting on it's effect on you during your childhood with your parents taking you to films beyond your comprehension, etc,...

I was ten years old and it was my birthday. I asked my mom to take me to see Richard Pryor: Live at Sunset Strip. My mom had no idea what it was but said okay and took me. I laughed forever. But, the next year I asked my mom it was The Dead Zone. The most amazing thing for me was how traumatized Chris Walken’s character was and how he portrayed that. I felt every unwanted handshake or knock at the door.

He didn't need film school...he was immersed into film...amazing education. Every movie in 1979 thats insane in a good way

Awesome movie list , can’t wait to check these out, I love the 70’s.

A bit shocked that he didn't care for Don Coscarelli's horror/science fiction classic PHANTASM 😮 (Roger Avery sure loves it). Otherwise, this was a very enjoyable retrospective of a great year in cinema. I'd love to hear him go year by year like this, from the early 70's to the mid-80's.

​@@citygirl5705 33:54 to 33:59 🙂...Phantasm is one of my top 5 all-time movies and it still suprises me that Quentin didn't immediately go crazy for it, like 10 year old me did back then. I'd like to hear him expand upon that, what in particular wasn't working for him. I think Phantasm 1979 is a genuine low budget classic and true cinematic work of art, and I believe it will endure in both the science fiction and horror genres for epochs to come...

Thank you for this video

1979 was such a good year for movies. It also had The Jerk & Wise Blood

Love hearing Quentin talk about older fliks!

Being about year older than Tarantino I can totally relate to all of this...I've seen and heard of most of these films, but even NOW there are a few films mentioned here I've NEVER heard of until now haha...and I thought I was a fairly well-versed film buff, but Tarantino has me beat on that one by a country mile. He's a virtual walking encyclopedia kind of film going back to the earliest Hollywood movies INCLUDING foreign films.

It's amazing how much this guy really loves the movies.

I was born in 88 so I don't know most of these movies. I've been watching a lot of old movies since I was 16 but watching this clarifies just how many movies are out there and how little I truly know about film.

1981, easily a better year for movies than 79. I saw all of these in the theater: Raiders of the Lost Ark (saw it eight times in the theater), Das Boot, Mad Max: The Road Warrior, James Bond: For Your Eyes Only, Reds, Blow Out, The Chosen with Robbie Benson playing a Hasidic Jew, An American Werewolf in London, Prince of the City, Night Hawks, Mommie Dearest, Stripes, The Four Seasons, Taps, Eye Witness, Scanners, Michael Mann's Thief, Ghost Story, Southern Comfort(Walter Hill's excellent follow up to The Warriors) Christopher Walken playing a badass mercenary in Dogs of War, Victory, Fort Apache the Bronx, Death Hunt, Excaliber, Clash of Titans, The Evil Dead, Escape From New York, The Fox and the Hound, Chariots of Fire, Time Bandits, Gallipoli, On Golden Pond, The History of the World Part 1, Body Heat, My Dinner with Andre, Author, The Howling, Outland, Diva (Diva, Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel raved about this so it is a must see, now and then.) The Postman Always Rings Twice, Heavy Metal, Dragon Slayer. The Cannonball Run, Gregory's Girl, The Gods Must be Crazy, Porky's, Wolfen, Eye of the Needle, Zoro: the Gay Blade, Sharky's Machine, The Incredible Shrinking Woman (Lilly Tomlin.) Continental Divide (John Belushi's romantic comedy.) Bustin Loose (with a hilarious Richard Pryor.) Zoot Suit, Windwalker, Back Roads, Force Five with Benny the Jet, and Joe Lewis he white martial artist heavy weight who trained with Bruce Lee. and of course Caveman with Ringo Starr, and Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. Worst movie of that year: Tarzan the Ape Man with Bo Derek. If you read this far.. I am not a great iconic director like Tarantino, but I love movies, and always have. (Note for those who are tired of MCU movies, Disney made some pure crap in '81 The Devil and Max Devlin where Bill Cosby played Satan, Condorman which is a family movie that even kids likely find stupid. Disney did: get press for making Dragon Slayer that year, as it is historically their first PG rated movie! It is a solid adventure fantasy movie notable for it's ILM photo realistic dragon decades before Game of Thrones dragons.) and if you have come this far, no one had any clue what 1981's greatest movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was. Harrison Ford in an interview in Starlog joked about it is a must see for its sex with a camel, and full frontal nudity. That would have been where no A list Hollywood star had gone before. Of course he was being ironic. If you have not seen Raiders of the Lost Ark, don't be shocked though.

Disney's The Black Hole (1979) and The Witcher in the Woods (1980) were also rated PG. These early PG Disney films had a lot of violence - quite a bit of gore in Dragonslayer!

I think Patrick Swayze in a Tarantino film would have been stellar. Now I'd like to see him do something with Bill Murray... and Charles Barkely. I think he could get something special out of both. :)

He’s gotta work with the greatest actor of all time Shaq

I was in the audience at the same sneak preview for "Rich Kids" that Quentin Tarantino attended in 1979. I saw "The Rose" opening night at the Egyptian theater in 1979 in Hollywood. I remember it was in multichannel stereo sound. I think it was in 70MM too.

So many great films from just one year..... we're really in a desert of creativity now

I thoroughly enjoyed watching (listening) to this and ended up buying a lot of these movies from Amazon. Great idea for a KZread channel.

Loved hearing all this! I saw so many of the same films in the theater when I was young as well! But why spend so little time on the gems? Phantasm, Dawn of the Dead, Time After Time, When a Stranger Calls, Life of Brian!

Excellent podcast, lots of great infos about interesting films I never heard about :)

I could listen to this man speak about movies all day.

For me the continually diminishing importance of Claude and rising importance of Berger in Hair somehow signalled that the vastly different worlds of the two characters came to an understanding and shared values, akin to brothers in a sense, mixing together. That is why the ending felt so gutting.

If you love The Deer Hunter as much as I do then make sure you listen all the way to the end as Quentin takes a fascinating side trip into both his passion for the film and his conversations with director Michael Cimino. Bonus: a cool De Niro story! What a wonderful listen this was.

I saw Raiders under the same circumstances. A single-film sneak preview a couple months before its release. Five people in the theater. Crest Cinema, San Bernardino.
