==Events==
* February 23 – During a press conference at [[Sardi's|Sardi]]'s in [[Manhattan]], it is officially announced that [[Christopher Reeve]] will be playing the role of [[Superman]].
* March 28 – At the [[49th Academy Awards]], ''[[Rocky]]'' picks up the [[Academy Award for Best Picture]].

* May 25 – ''[[Star Wars (film)|Star Wars]]'' opens in theatres and becomes the [[List of highest-grossing films|highest-grossing film]] of the year.

The film's release is often considered one of the most important events in film history.
*June 22 – [[Walt Disney Pictures|Walt Disney Productions]] releases ''[[The Rescuers]]'', which brings back an interest in animation that had been lost to both filmgoers and critics throughout the beginning of the 1970s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cataroo.com/DBrescu.html|title=Don Bluth The Disney Years: The Rescuers|work=cataroo.com|access-date=3 April 2017}}</ref>
*November 16 – ''[[Close Encounters of the Third Kind]]'' opens to widespread critical acclaim and massive box office success, becoming one of the top-grossing films to date and cementing Steven Spielberg's status as one of the most talented and profitable film directors of all time.
* December 5 – ''The Solar System'', produced and directed by Thomas G. Smith for [[Encyclopaedia Britannica Films]], is released.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-02-05|title=Thomas G. Smith Collection|url=https://libraries.indiana.edu/thomas-g-smith-collection|access-date=2021-02-02|website=libraries.indiana.edu|language=en}}</ref> It led to the producer hiring [[Industrial Light & Magic]] (ILM), a company producing visual effects for films such as the ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' films.
