It was the year of the Jonestown Massacre, but also the first Garfield comic strip. Will that help you answer this question? We’re about to find out.
Between all the feathered hair and Argentina winning the World Cup, sometimes I feel like I’m right back in ‘78. And if I were, I’d probably be watching this movie, which crushed the box office just a year after Star Wars changed cinema forever.

Correct Answer: Grease
The answer is: Grease. In the shadow of Star Wars' dominance in 1977 (before they tacked on the episode titles, even), you'd imagine there would have been a rush of sci-fi sagas hitting the screen, along with an eager public shelling out cash for them.But instead, it was a musical about 30-year-old high school students racing cars and combing their hair that rocketed to the top, raking in nearly $160 million in the U.S. and Canada alone. That's electrifyin'. Source
