inflation?

$441.5 Million is still more impressive since in 1977 there was no internet, no online poker, no NFL Network, no satellite television and no movies on demand. I am impressed. This movie was so good.

2008 Best Picture of the Year

It will win People's Choice and MTV awards for best picture, but it won't win the Oscar. Movies that come out towards the end of the year win those.

star wars was also rereleased to add to the ticket sales to an entirely new generation.

apparently gone with the wind is #1..

IMO it'll beat Titanic

It should be in theatres for a while yet

wanna bet

$100 it doesn't

13 of top 20 since 1999 when movie tickets became god damn rediculous in price

i have seen all but 5 and 8 and i guess you could include 10 cause i was about 5 when i saw it. you're an asshole if you think any of those movies are better than the dark knight, which is not even close to my favorite movie of all time, but much better than all of those. a preemptive fuck you to all the nostalgia assholes who are going to pump gone with the wind. yes, my critique is going to revolve around it being slow.

edit: i guess i should say that if you think the movies i haven't seen are better are better than dark knight, you are probably an asshole, but i cant say for certain because i haven't seen the movies.

Keylight, you need to take your pills. And sharpen your reading comprehension skills.

Titanic came out in like November/December. It was probably out of theaters by summer time. It was popular with the old crowd, you know.. people who actually remember the real Titanic.

Regards to all time money lists, you have to adjust for competition at theaters, blockbuster, hollywood video, internet and TV... this all adds up to The Dark Knight being the #1 grossing movie of all time. There were no other movies playing back in 1939, so if you went to the theater, you were forced to watch Gone with the Wind.
