      Following closely behind the top-grossing film of 1970, Love Story, Airport utilized a formula later adopted by disaster films like The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno:

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

      Burt Lancaster once referred to Airport as “the biggest piece of junk ever made,” yet it spawned three sequels and was famously parodied in the 1980 film Airplane.

      This tale of a Vietnam veteran who is also a part-Navajo hapkido master became a major hit in 1971, particularly after its re-release, even surpassing Dirty Harry, the first film in Clint Eastwood’s series about San Francisco cop Harry Callahan.

      Here’s another big hint: Tom Laughlin starred in the lead role, and it was known for the song “One Tin Soldier.”

      Yes, it might seem surprising, but Billy Jack indeed outperformed Dirty Harry. The film benefited from its connection to a well-known character, as Billy Jack had previously appeared in the 1967 film The Born Losers.

      Billy Jack remains a cult classic from the 1970s.

      1972

      Marlon Brando was in two of the Top 10 movies of 1972. The first, as you probably guessed, was The Godfather.

      Can you identify the second one, where he starred alongside Maria Schneider (shown above)?

      Hint: It features a city in its title.

      And the film is…

      1972 Answer: Last Tango in Paris

      Indeed, it’s Last Tango in Paris, a movie that has faced backlash in recent years due to allegations from Schneider about her treatment by Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci during a pivotal butter scene.

      Now, let’s move on to the next year.

      1973

      This one resembles a classic film from the 1940s, not a major hit from the 1970s, and that is very intentional.

      If you’ve seen this delightful film, featuring the star of the biggest hit of 1970 and his real-life daughter, you surely recall it.

      It’s a poignant story yet undeniably charming.

      Paper Moon starred Ryan O’Neal, who had also topped the box office in 1970’s Love Story. In Paper Moon, he plays a conman on a journey with a spirited child who may actually be his daughter.

      Director Peter Bogdanovich cleverly paired O’Neal with his real-life daughter, Tatum, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

      1974 was an exceptional year for Mel Brooks, who released both the top film, the Western satire Blazing Saddles, and another comedic take on a different genre.

      For fans of comedy, this one should be a breeze.

      1974 Answer: Young Frankenstein

      The comedy classic Young Frankenstein remained in theaters through 1975, where members of Aerosmith were inspired to borrow one of its funniest jokes for their hit song “Walk This Way,” as noted in our list of Classic Rock Songs Influenced by Films We Love.

      So it’s not just one of the top hits from the 1970s — it also contributed to a major hit song from the decade.
