Would a flop been able to give us such classic lines as "In, Through, Beyond"?

according to this list, the first was Treasure Island 1950 with a couple more before The Black Hole.

And don't forget Ernest Borgnine! My elementary school library had the read-along picture book and it always stuck with me, so when I saw it on Hulu recently I had to give it a watch.

Even in '79, Ernest looked old, but that's probably the youngest I've seen Robert Forster. I don't remember when I saw this compared to Star Wars, but I remember really liking the little robot with his beat up companion. I also remember my mom talking about being somewhat shocked by the gore when the "evil" robot used his spinning hands.

That would've been rated well after the fact, since the MPAA didn't introduce film ratings until 1968.

If you make a PG movie without it being called PG, does that mean it's any less of a deviation from the G-rated content? Even the G-rated content wouldn't have had a rating as well, but these would have been noticeably different at the time.
