By Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter

Represented in this group of movies turning 45 in 2023 are some of the most beloved films of all time along with one of the biggest flops.

In 1978, the Delta Tau Chi members had moviegoers laughing all across the country (Animal House), while Dorothy and her friends helped us ease on down the road (The Wiz.) The year also brought us a Beatles-related film that no one asked for (Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band), a film that would never get made today (Pretty Baby) and one of the greatest movie musicals of all time (Grease.)
