Here is a chart produced by Wall Street Journal writers which ranks the top movies of all time.  Depending on how one looks at the list, it may differ dramatically from much of the uproar depicted by movie advertisers:

Reel Dollars

Sort the list by “Inflation-adjusted domestic box office”. AHA! Classic movies occupy a huge percentage of the top movies.    I am surprised to see how high Titanic truly ranks.  What was the draw to this movie?  A young talented, handsome actor?  Was not this a chick flick?  I cannot speak as I did not see it.

I am happy someone did their homework here, as I get tired of hearing about new movies being top dollar movies.  An adjustment for inflation eliminates most of the manufactured hype and gives us the reel [syc.] story.
