The world's No. 1 highest-grossing film of all time is Gone With the Wind, according to Boxofficemojo.com's top 100 list. The movie has raked in a gross profit of $1,430,476,000 (adjusted to reflect inflation) since its debut on the silver screen in 1939.
No. 2 is the sci-fi favorite Star Wars (1977) with $1,261,086,700 in gross profit, and the No. 3 position goes to The Sound of Music (1965) with $1,008,300,900 in gross profit.
Aside from all of today's usual suspects, which include almost all the films from the Pirates of the Caribbean, Batman, Spiderman, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and Indiana Jones franchises, the list also names a few blasts from the past that probably haven't crossed your mind in a while: Mrs. Doubtfire, Ghost, Men in Black, The Sixth Sense, Twister, Forrest Gump and -- but of course -- Titanic.
Classics loved by my generation's parents and grandparents appear frequently on the list, notably The Exorcist, The Sting, Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, M.A.S.H., Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Lawrence of Arabia.
Would you be able to guess the highest-grossing animated Disney film of all time? I am willing to bet not, but visit The List and see if you're right.
