Highest Grossing Movies

According to detnews.com and boxofficemojo.com, here are the highest grossing movies of all time, with inflation added in. This was pretty interesting based on all the hype of "The Dark Knight" being one of the highest grossing movies of all time. In all reality, it falls at #29 right now with nearly $506 million.

Here is the Top 10, with some extra notes at the end:

1. "Gone with the Wind" (1939) - $1,430,476,000
2. "Star Wars" (1977) - $1,261,086,700
3. "The Sound of Music" (1965) - $1,008,300,900
4. "E.T." (1982) - $1,004,328,700
5. "The Ten Commandments" (1956) - $927,480,000
6. "Titanic" (1997) - $908,688,900
7. "Jaws" (1975) - $906,798,000
8. "Doctor Zhivago" (1965) - $878,879,000
9. "The Exorcist" (1973) - $782,826,200
10. "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) - $771,720,000

I thought this was pretty interesting to read, crazy to imagine any movie making over $1 billion in the end. The rest of the list can be found here.
