      Following closely behind the highest-grossing film of 1970, Love Story, Airport established a template that other disaster films of the 1970s, like The Poseidon Adventure and The Towering Inferno, would replicate:

      Combine a group of A-list celebrities, place them in danger, and enjoy the excitement.

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

      1971

      This tale of a Vietnam veteran and part-Navajo hapkido adept was among the top earners of 1971 — particularly after its re-release — even surpassing Dirty Harry, the first of Clint Eastwood’s five films featuring San Francisco cop Harry Callahan.

      Here’s another major hint: It starred Tom Laughlin in the titular role and was recognized for the song “One Tin Soldier.”

      Yes, it's surprising, but Billy Jack indeed outperformed Dirty Harry. Billy Jack had the advantage of being based on a character that audiences were already familiar with: he first appeared in the 1967 film The Born Losers (above).

      Billy Jack has since become a cult classic of the 1970s.

      1972

      Marlon Brando featured in two of the Top 10 box office films in 1972. The first, as you may have inferred, was The Godfather.

      Can you name the second one, co-starring Maria Schneider (above)?

      Hint: It includes a city in its 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 that she was mistreated by Brando and director Bernardo Bertolucci during a pivotal scene involving butter.

      And now, let’s move on to the following year.

      1973

      This film resembles a classic from the 1940s, rather than a hit from the 1970s, which was intentional.

      If you’ve watched this charming movie featuring the lead actor from the biggest film of 1970 alongside his real-life daughter, you surely remember it.

      It’s poignant, yet undeniably delightful.

      1973 Answer: Paper Moon

      Paper Moon starred Ryan O’Neal, who was also a box office favorite opposite Ali MacGraw in 1970’s Love Story. In Paper Moon, O’Neal plays a con man on a road trip during the Depression with a sassy child who could potentially be his daughter.

      Director Peter Bogdanovich wisely cast O’Neal alongside his real-life daughter, Tatum, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

      1974

      1974 was an exceptional year for Mel Brooks, who released both the Western spoof Blazing Saddles, which became the top film of the year, and another comedy that parodied a different genre.

      We know, for comedy enthusiasts, this one is a breeze.

      And now, scroll down for the answer.

      1974 Answer: Young Frankenstein

      The comedic classic Young Frankenstein remained in theaters through 1975, where members of Aerosmith spotted it and borrowed one of the funniest gags in the movie for their hit song “Walk This Way,” as discussed in this compilation of Classic Rock Songs Inspired by Movies We Love.

      So, it’s not just among the hit films of the 1970s but also influenced one of the biggest songs of the decade.
