I honestly can't think of any scores I'm familiar with for movies released in 1979 other than Alien and Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Of course, scores to 1980 movies could have certainly been all or partially written in 1979. Empire Strikes Back was certainly started in 1979.

What about them? I'm unfamiliar with the Agnes, I stand by my list and would extend to King Solomon's Mines and perhaps a few others before the Horner score.
