      Following closely behind the top-grossing film of 1970, Love Story, Airport adhered to a formula that would be echoed by other disaster films of the 1970s, such as The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno:

      Gather a group of A-list actors, place them in jeopardy, and watch the drama unfold.

      Burt Lancaster once called Airport “the biggest piece of junk ever made,” yet it spawned three sequels and was later parodied by the 1980 film Airplane.

      This tale of a Vietnam veteran and part-Navajo hapkido master was among the biggest successes of 1971, especially after being re-released, even surpassing the original Dirty Harry, which was Clint Eastwood's first of five films featuring San Francisco cop Harry Callahan.

      Here’s another significant hint: It starred Tom Laughlin in the leading role and was associated with the song “One Tin Soldier.”

      United Artists

      Correct, it’s Last Tango in Paris, a film that has faced criticism in recent years due to Schneider’s claims of being mistreated by Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci during a pivotal scene involving butter.

      It also made our list of movies notable for their controversial sex scenes.

      1973

      This film appears reminiscent of a classic from the 1940s, which is intentional.

      If you've seen this delightful film featuring the lead from the top hit of 1970 alongside his real daughter, it will surely be memorable to you.

      It’s a touching yet charming narrative.

      Paper Moon starred Ryan O'Neal, who also topped the box office with Ali MacGraw in 1970’s Love Story. The film, set in the Great Depression, follows a con man on a road trip with a difficult child who may or may not be his daughter.

      Director Peter Bogdanovich made a wise decision by casting O’Neal with his real daughter, Tatum, who rightfully won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

      We know this one is easy for fans of comedy.

      This classic comedy Young Frankenstein continued to show in theaters into 1975, when members of Aerosmith saw it and borrowed one of its best jokes for their hit "Walk This Way," as noted in our list of Classic Rock Songs Inspired by Movies We Love.

      Thus, it’s not just one of the major films of the 1970s — it also influenced one of the biggest songs of the decade.
