Let's see... I was born in 1963... I will go with "The Great Escape".
It's a classic WW2 movie based on a true story.
This is the kind of movie that you can see every year around Memorial Day or Veteran's Day.

Also, "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", the classic ensemble chase comedy. If you want to see something of a "Who's Who" in mid-century comedic acting, this is a must-see film.
It's currently free on YouTube although you MAY (I am not sure) need a YouTube Premium subscription (which I have - it's worth it).

"The Pink Panther", the original comedy that introduced Inspector Clouseau and spawned the cartoon series.

Not exactly my favorite, but the most famous movie of that year was "Cleopatra".

and, of course, Alfred Hitchcock's disturbing "The Birds".

Jeez, I’m realizing what a tough year 1979 was for movies, haha. I know Apocalypse Now is supposed to be really good, but I haven’t seen it. I need to see The Jerk again as an adult to see if I appreciate it. The only one that really jumps out to me is Meatballs. Talk about a movie that couldn’t be made today, YIKES😂 But it was one of those movies where I could see naked chicks as a young’un, because nobody was really looking out for kids in the 80s😝

WindAtMyBack · Answer

I'd have to say  The Ten Commandments,  since that's the only one I know for sure that I've seen. I think I've seen  The King and I,  but I'm not sure. I don't remember either one of them, although I remember that The Ten Commandments used to show every year on TV, either around Christmas or Easter. I never heard of half the movies from my year.
