Can you identity the top films of 1974 by just three of the actors?

Can you guess these sequels, smashes, and stinkers?

 

1974 was an interesting year for film. There were genre-breaking hits, sequel smash successes, and some box office toppers that are now considered some of the worst movies ever.

We've taken the top movies of 1974 by United States box office and picked three actors from each movie. Can you correctly identify all ten?

  1. Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway
  2. Teri Garr, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn
  3. Lorne Greene, Ava Gardner, Walter Matthau
  4. Tom Laughlin, Delores Taylor, Victor Izay
  5. Cleavon Little, Harvey Korman, Slim Pickens
  6. Robert Duvall, John Cazale, Lee Strasberg
  7. Karen Black, Linda Blair, George Kennedy
  8. Burt Reynolds, James Hampton, Eddie Albert
  9. Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman
  10. Dan Haggerty, Don Shanks, Marjorie Harper

Can you identity the top films of 1974 by just three of the actors?

7/10 I saw the Towering Inferno at the theater in 1974, and I remember Steve McQueen, but I don't remember Paul Newman or Faye Dunaway. I looked it up, and that movie had dozens of stars.

I was already 83 yrs old in 74. I was not going to the movies and i was using rabbit ears for reception. My closest big city was Pittsburgh and it was 50 miles away.

Kind of a dead period in Hollywood, except for the duo that saved Paramount (The Godfather and G-II). The fifties and sixties and brought forth the tremendous biblical blockbusters - Ben Hur, Spartacus, King of Kings, 10 Commandments) and one tremendous post-war production that outdid all the war movies (Patton, released in ‘70 but made in the sixties). I fell asleep in the 70’s and 80’s, a time of dormancy for the big screen.
I couldn't disagree more. Imo, and many others, I believe the 1970s was the best decade for movies.
