      Following closely behind the top-grossing film of 1970, Love Story, Airport exemplified a formula that disaster movies of the decade like The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno would emulate:

      Gather a lineup of A-list stars, place them in dangerous situations, and watch the drama unfold.

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

      1971

      This tale of a Vietnam veteran who is part-Navajo hapkido master became one of the biggest successes of 1971 — particularly after its re-release — and surpassed Dirty Harry, the first of Clint Eastwood’s five films about the San Francisco detective Harry Callahan.

      Here’s another big hint: It featured Tom Laughlin in the titular role and is known for the song “One Tin Soldier.”

      Indeed, it’s hard to believe, but Billy Jack actually outperformed Dirty Harry. The character had previously made an impression on audiences, first appearing in the 1967 biker film The Born Losers (above).

      Billy Jack remains a cult classic from the 1970s.

      1972

      Marlon Brando acted in two of the top 10 films of 1972. The first, as you might have guessed, is The Godfather.

      Can you name the second one, where he co-starred with Maria Schneider (above)?

      Hint: It features a city in the title.

      And the film is…

      1972 Answer: Last Tango in Paris

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

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

      1973

      This movie appears to be a classic from the 1940s rather than a hit from the 1970s, and that’s intentional.

      If you’ve watched this delightful film, featuring the star of the highest-grossing film of 1970 alongside his real-life daughter, you likely remember it well.

      It’s both poignant and charming.

      Paper Moon featured Ryan O’Neal, who also had a top-grossing film opposite Ali MacGraw in Love Story from 1970. The movie tells a Depression-era story about a conman on a road trip with a precocious child who may be his daughter.

      Director Peter Bogdanovich smartly cast O’Neal with his actual daughter, Tatum, who rightfully received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

      1974 was a prosperous year for Mel Brooks: he released not only the Western parody Blazing Saddles, the top film of the year, but also another comedy that poked fun at a different genre.

      We know, for fans of comedy, this one is a cinch.

      1974 Answer: Young Frankenstein

      The comedic classic Young Frankenstein continued to screen in theaters into 1975, where members of Aerosmith spotted it and borrowed one of its famous lines for their hit song “Walk This Way,” as noted in our list of Classic Rock Songs Inspired by Movies We Love.

      So, not only is it one of the hit films of the 1970s, but it also inspired one of the decade's biggest songs.
