Events
- March 26: The film version of The Who's Tommy premieres in London.
- May 26: In order to create the necessary special effects for his film, Star Wars, George Lucas forms Industrial Light and Magic.
- June 20: Jaws is released and becomes the highest-grossing movie of the year and the first movie to earn $100 million in US and Canadian theatrical rentals, setting the standard for future blockbusters.
- August 14: The cult classic film The Rocky Horror Picture Show premieres in London.
- August 15: Sholay, directed by Ramesh Sippy, produced by his father G. P. Sippy, and written by Salim–Javed, is released in Bombay. The film stars Dharmendra, Sanjeev Kumar, Hema Malini, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, and Amjad Khan. When first released, Sholay receives negative critical reviews and a tepid commercial response, but favourable word-of-mouth publicity helps it to become a box office success. It breaks records for continuous showings in many theatres across India. It is the highest-grossing Indian film ever at this time, and is the highest-grossing film in India up until Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994). By numerous accounts, Sholay remains one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time, adjusted for inflation. Sholay is often regarded as one of the greatest and most influential Indian films of all time.
- November 2: Italian director Pier Paolo Pasolini is brutally murdered in Ostia (Rome).
- November 23: Sneak Previews, the first American film review show, premieres and launches the careers of critics Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. They remained as a team, and a staple among film critics, through various programs for the next twenty-four years.
