Just a little game I thought we could play. You guess which movies had the highest U.S. domestic box office grosses---adjusted for inflation. I'll tell you whether your guess is in the top 10 or not. The game is complete when we've named all 10. No cheating--you're on the honor system!

Hint: STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS in currently #11 and will almost certainly make it into the top 10 before it finishes its run.

The all-time world list looks quite different, even though it's still all American movies.

1. ?
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. ?
6. ?
7. ?
8. ?
9. ?
10. ?

Surprisingly, AVATAR is only #15 in the US all-time, although it's #1 in the world rankings.

Yeah, CK was pretty much a flop when it was released.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
