Just look at LOTR!!! #7 in the top 10 of 2002 with not even playing for two full weeks!!!

Yeah I know... well wanna hear something... now don't hit me or anything... but I had tickets to the pre-premier, only I didn't went cause these movies don't really catches me... they're not my type of movie... a couple of my malefriends got soooo mad at me... but it was in the middle of the night and everything... I sorta should have gone, because after I found out that the queen was there and everything... I should have gone...

anyways the reason is because I'm a member of this movies club, and I am a VIP member... so they picked some winners out... they were delighted though when I called them and said I didn't wanted to go... they got really happy for some reason!!

EDIT: just wanted to say that I'm talking about LOTR here....

Well everybody has his/her own taste when it comes to anything, including movies

I know for sure I would have been there

From those figures it looks like The Two Towers could easily compete for biggest movie ever! Would anyone happen to know what the biggest earning movie is?

I've seen #2,3 & 7 out of those 10, 7 twice, worth seeing lots of times.

I'd like to see 1, 6 & 8 too, have to get the DVD's for those.

US only: Titanic - $600,788,188

Yeah Titanic is the biggest ever for the box office - can't remember the worldwide number though... I think the original Star Wars was next.

If you take inflation into account though, Gone with the Wind made the most.

$600 million only in the US ...... I think it's possible for The Two Towers to get near that figure. I'd love to see it pass Titanic.

Of those I've seen 1,2,4,6,8,9,10 and I must say that my favorites were Spider-man, Ice Age, and Scooby Doo!

And I would NOT recommend seeing Signs to anyone who hasn't seen it...but that's just my opinion...and I really, really, really wanna see My Big Fat Greek Wedding!
