In the 1970s a huge number of films were shot in the USSR, many of which we now call the classics of Soviet cinema. But how to find out which of these films were popular then, in the year they were released? There is nothing easier! I present to your attention the TOP 15 highest-grossing Soviet films of the 1970s of the twentieth century
If you can hope for television projects only for the memory of those who lived and remember those times ("and when they showed this film on TV - the streets were empty, crime was decreasing, water consumption was increasing"), then with movies that were rented in cinemas, everything differently. Preserved statistics - attendance of films in the first year of hire. A little processing of this data makes it possible to find out what our citizens liked to see in those years
But enough words, go directly to the films
So, the most popular among the audience in the 70s was the film, which became the most popular among the Russians in general in the history of film distribution in the USSR
"Pirates of the XX century." In 1980, it was watched by 87.6 million viewers. If we consider that the population of our country at that time was about 260 million people, then it turns out that almost every third
What is the reason for this success of the Soviet militant? I think basically that the films of this genre were new to our viewer, and because of the almost complete absence of Western fighters at the box office, the "Pirates" simply did not have competition
In second place is our Oscar winner
"Moscow does not believe in tears" - 84.4 million viewers
Slightly lost to the "Pirates" of the melodrama of Vladimir Men'shov about a strong woman (or rather, which life made strong), looking for her happiness. "In forty years, life is just beginning"
Our film catastrophe closes the top three
"Crew" - 71.1 million viewers
Although this film is not quite a movie-catastrophe. More precisely, not only a catastrophe. Mitta shot the film in several genres at once. It has everything. And drama, and melodrama, and tragedy, and heroism
Interesting moment. All three of the leaders for a decade are films of one year. 1979 year. They say that then in GosKino scared the increasing competition with television. Struggling for the viewer, the film authorities allowed to shoot our directors "on a Hollywood scale." The result - three films, thriller, melodrama and disaster, in 1980 set records on attendance
Well, we'll go further
The fourth place in the movie "A dawn here is quiet ..." - 66 million viewers

Family drama. One of the best roles Doronina. Third place at the box office in 1973
