Top 25 highest grossing movies of all time!!

1. Avatar: $2,923,706,026
......
25. Barbie: $1,212,583,000

Currently in the theaters now.

I watched these movies almost 2/3 times and these were my favourites .
Avatar, Spider-Man, Avengers, Titanic, Black Panther

What's your favorite movie?

I have seen almost all of these and I can't say that I really enjoyed any of them.
Films that I found enjoyable were

The mask
As good as it gets
Groundhog day
The matrix
Schindlers list
All this super hero stuff I find too disconnected from reality and cant really get into them seriously.

I don't know how you can put The Mask on that list but the rest is top notch.

My favourite super hero stuff is The Dark Knight trilogy and Superman: The movie.
Doubt they will ever be topped. Best atmosphere, music, heart and believability.

Not even in the top 25 grossing list anymore.

Wonder Woman seemed to have been done in the same sort of style. It was mostly pretty good. The second one was an abomination.

I wonder how this list would look if we account for population growth and increasing cost of movie tickets? Agree highest grossing doesn't equal to quality movie....

10	Star Wars: The Force Awakens	$2,491,000,000	2015

The Shawshank Redemption
The Godfather 1 and 2 only...
Pulp Fiction
Forest Gump

Pulp Fiction = Decent
Reservoir Dogs = Decent.
Forest Gump = Decent
The Usual Suspects = Really Good.
Knives Out and Glass onion = Good

I can't properly judge Mary Poppins or Sound of Music as I was under ten and saw them in the movie theater first run. Same with 10 commandments.

So all of them have that young kid first impression issue.
