70 The Great Dictator 1941 - Estimated Admissions 9m
Chaplin satirises the Nazi regime with his not-so-subtle imitation of Hitler's megalomaniacal tendencies. Controversial political comedy which was banned in all Nazi-occupied countries. This did not stop Hitler screening the film twice - sadly, history does not record his reaction...

69 Live And Let Die 1973 - Estimated Admissions 9m
Roger Moore's first outing as Bond. Drug smuggling, voodoo, a hook-handed henchman and Jane Seymour's tarot reader contribute to one of the series' most cartoonish episodes, which also features Bond's apartment for the (to date) last time. Among the secret agent's hi-tech gadgets is a coffee-making machine, the height of modernity in 1973.

68 Saturday Night Fever 1978 - Estimated Admissions 9.02m
Classic 70s disco movie, with a star-making turn from John Travolta, that explores the simmering frustrations of youth to the most memorable of soundtracks. The soundtrack became one of the best sellers of all time, with over 35,000,000 copies sold worldwide. The white polyester suit worn by John Travolta in the movie became one of the most popular pieces of cinematic memorabilia ever, selling at auction for $145,000.

67 Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 1980 - Estimated Admissions 9.09m
The second and darkest instalment in the Star Wars saga. Luke learns about the force from Yoda, Leia and Han get it on and Darth Vader reveals a shattering secret. A more mature film than its predecessor, loaded with spectacular special effects and efficiently written, this may well be the pinnacle of the Star Wars saga.

66 One Hundred And One Dalmatians 1961 - Estimated Admissions 9.1m
Walt Disney's animated adaptation of Dodie Smith's classic canine adventure has captivated audiences since its release in 1961. Cruella De Vil is the cruel-hearted dog-napper intent on rounding up London's Dalmatians and turning them into a coat in this classic good-vs-evil tale. A Disney remake of the film in 1996, starring Glenn Close as Cruella, also did massive box office but failed to match the popularity of the original.
