First year with 11 movies that made $100m and more. Respect.
Its great to see Batman Returns at number 3 !
:cheers:
I thought the film tanked when it was released an thats my they changed director for the third one.
Still my fave film. :thumbup:
I think all the films in the bottom half of the list are better than ones in the top. Unforgiven is the best film there by a country mile.

Unforgiven is very good, but hey, a western movie making the Top 20 in any year is still pretty good.
Neat to see Aladdin up there that high.
01. $217,350,219 - Aladdin (I've never been a big fan of this one, but I'd never call it bad)
02. $173,585,516 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (hated it)
03. $162,831,698 - Batman Returns (myeh)
04. $144,731,527 - Lethal Weapon 3 (I only really liked the first two)
05. $141,340,178 - A Few Good Men (classic)
06. $139,605,150 - Sister Act (oh, please)
07. $121,945,720 - The Bodyguard (oh, please)
08. $121,697,323 - Wayne's World (I liked it)
09. $117,727,224 - Basic Instinct (the grandfather of a few hundred equally bad erotic thrillers, gotta give it props for that)
10. $107,533,928 - A League of Their Own (say what you will, I like this film)
11. $101,157,447 - Unforgiven (Amazing)
12. $088,036,683 - The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (a good bad thriller)
13. $083,563,139 - Under Siege (never got into it, but more power to you if you did)
14. $083,351,587 - Patriot Games (so-so, I think Tom Clancy is over-rated)
15. $082,522,790 - Bram Stoker's Dracula (pretty bad movie, but it has some moments)
16. $076,253,806 - White Men Can't Jump (I thought it was okay at the time and over time have grown to hate this movie with a passion)
17. $075,505,856 - The Last of the Mohicans (middle of the road)
18. $070,052,444 - Boomerang (had no interest then or since, I've seen bits and pieces)
19. $063,095,253 - Scent of a Woman (never got too into it, but I wouldn't call it a bad movie)
20. $062,548,947 - The Crying Game (started great, started going downhill, and then....)
Ah yes, 92 the first year of high school. I remember Waynes World being all over the damn place near summer vacation. Everyone and their brother was listening to Bohemian Rhapsody because of it.
I remember seeing Batman Returns in the theater and hating it the first time. However, after seeing it several more times I started to like it more.
DOMESTIC GROSSES #1–20

04. $144,731,527 - Lethal Weapon 3 (half decent)

11. $101,157,447 - Unforgiven (Great film)

01. $217,350,219 - Aladdin
Meh.
02. $173,585,516 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York
Same as the first one.
03. $162,831,698 - Batman Returns
Whoa, 1992? I thought it came out 1990. I ... didn't like it much.
04. $144,731,527 - Lethal Weapon 3
The magic was already gone after part 2.
05. $141,340,178 - A Few Good Men
I think I saw this but I can't remember anything about it.
06. $139,605,150 - Sister Act
Never saw.
07. $121,945,720 - The Bodyguard
Dull.
08. $121,697,323 - Wayne's World
I laughed once, I think. The sequel was much better.
09. $117,727,224 - Basic Instinct
Never saw.
10. $107,533,928 - A League of Their Own
Never saw.
11. $101,157,447 - Unforgiven
One of the best of the gritty Westerns (not including the Spaghetti Westerns).
12. $088,036,683 - The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
Absurd, ridiculous, idiot picture. I had a HUGE crush on Rebecca DeMornay, though.
13. $083,563,139 - Under Siege
I think this movie sucks. Marked For Death is the only Segal movie anyone really needs to see.
14. $083,351,587 - Patriot Games
Sean Bean!
15. $082,522,790 - Bram Stoker's Dracula
Overblown, overproduced, overindulgent, etc, etc. My friend Travis and I were like, "WTF is this?" all through it.
16. $076,253,806 - White Men Can't Jump
Never saw.
17. $075,505,856 - The Last of the Mohicans
Incredibly good movie that caught me completely by surprise.
18. $070,052,444 - Boomerang
Never saw.
19. $063,095,253 - Scent of a Woman
Pacino's speech at the end is good.
20. $062,548,947 - The Crying Game
Never saw. Since I had the "shocking" twist spoiled practically as soon as it hit the theaters, what's the point?
Wayne's World is by far the best film to be branched off of a Saturday Night Live sketch.

Really? Even better than The Blue Brothers?
