How many guesses will it take you to name the top 10 grossing movies of all time

2002's SPIDER-MAN was #38 and someone already guessed THE AVENGERS (and was wrong).

The Godfather?

The Godfather Part 2?

Rev. Powell · January 30, 2016, 07:51:15 PM

GODFATHER was #25 and the sequel did not make the top 200.

Terminator 2?

I did! I DID!
Then I forgot what I read-because I was kinda high-!
Ok! Im gonna guess the LION KING,and the JAZZ SINGER-I can understand why the JAZZ SINGER-it was the fist big time talkie-the LION KING_because all the movies I hate are on the top ten,Ill betcha. But the Jazz Singer aint on it because folks were poor.

Okay, let's get older here. I remember records being broken by The Exorcist in its day. Not sure if that translates to this late day or not.

The EXORCIST-good one.
Im thinking-I dunno-cuz I hate it-the SOUND OF MUSIC.

RCMerchant · January 31, 2016, 01:49:54 PM

Maybe f**kin ET =ugh!

Rev. Powell · January 31, 2016, 02:47:40 PM

RC, E.T. and THE SOUND OF MUSIC are right, but they were already guessed. LION KING is a good guess (it's #19). JAZZ SINGER did not make the top 200.

And Java gets one of the final three with THE EXORCIST. It's #9.

1. Gone with the Wind (1939)
2. Star Wars (1977)
3. Sound of Music (1965)
4. E.T. (1982)
5. Titanic (1997)
6. ?
7. Jaws (1975)
8. ?
9. The Exorcist (1973)
10. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)

Ben-Hur? Gandhi? Ghostbusters?...hmm probably some romantic epic instead?

No winners but BEN-HUR is closest of those (#14), and you're right to think about epics for the last two spots...

Gene Worm · January 31, 2016, 03:30:54 PM

I would imagine Forrest Gump, Godzilla, Avatar, Titanic, and that one movie that I don't want to talk about (bleck) is probably on there.
