Money wise number one is Titanic.In real terms though number one is Gone With The Wind.

ive often wondered how they work it out ! it should be purely on 'bums on seats' as the cost of a cinema ticket is much much dearer than when star wars came out so obviously the more expensive tickets get the easier it is to score big at the box office!!!

In our opinion or based on facts and statistics e.g. box office takings, number of video/DVD copies sold, cost of making v money made etc.?? I presume you mean officially, but what does everyone think personally? Mine would have to include: E.T. The Green Mile When Harry Met Sally Platoon ...i have no idea! My mind has gone completely blank..

Sorry just read the question which asks for successfull films, well depends on what you term a success, if its popularity then the list is still valid. Here's the list for finacial success http://www.imdb.com/boxoffice/alltimegross?region=world-widenote that at the bottom it does say its not adjusted for inflation.

Monsters inc should top the list!
