Movie Trivia

The Top 25 films of all time, adjusted for inflation. It's in the news because Avatar just passed Titanic for the number spot on the unadjusted gross box office chart.

But, can you guess what 22 of the 25 films listed below have in common besides big box office numbers?


1. Gone With the Wind: $1,537,559,600

2. Star Wars: $1,355,490,100

3. The Sound of Music: $1,083,781,000

4. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial: $1,079,511,500

5. The Ten Commandments: $996,910,000

6. Titanic: $976,712,20

7. Jaws: $974,679,800

8. Doctor Zhivago: $944,670,800

19. Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace: $645,524,400

20. Fantasia: $631,960,900

21. Avatar: $603,789,300

23. Forrest Gump: $597,732,100

24. Mary Poppins: $594,963,600

25. The Lion King: $587,733,900


If you guessed that 22 of the 25 films listed were rated G, PG or PG-13, you'd be right. I still think The Hangover was hilarious, but you'd think Hollywood might figure out that there is a correlation between a movie's rating and how much money it makes.
