@Ynotisay Uh, what about Star Wars?

I think 1939 would be better.

@LadyJedi MY BAD. I wrote down the wrong year! :) They were all in '79.

@LadyJedi As was Alien. Very few of those are 77

@Ynotisay Smokey and the bandit cam out in 1977 also

Ynotisay · M

@SW-User That was '77. I screwed up and meant to write '79.

@Ynotisay Between The Lines came out in 1977. It’s definitive to me, because it feels the way I remember the 1970s.
