01. $377,027,325 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
If I ever meet Peter Jackson, I'm going to kick him in the nuts for the Neverending Ending.

02. $339,714,978 - Finding Nemo
Never saw.

03. $305,413,918 - Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
Pretty good.  Maybe a bit too lighthearted.

04. $281,576,461 - The Matrix Reloaded
The first Matrix sucked more ass than an ass-sucking ass-sucker, so I never saw either of the sequels.

05. $242,829,261 - Bruce Almighty
???

06. $214,949,694 - X2: X-Men United
Much better than the first one.

07. $173,398,518 - Elf
No.

08. $150,371,112 - Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
I feel as though T3 is almost the movie T2 should have been.

09. $139,313,948 - The Matrix Revolutions
Wait, Reloaded and Revolutions came out the same year?  Never saw.

10. $138,614,544 - Cheaper by the Dozen
???

11. $138,608,444 - Bad Boys II
Pretty painless for a Bay movie.

12. $135,645,823 - Anger Management
???

13. $132,716,677 - Bringing Down the House
???

14. $132,177,234 - Hulk
Nothing less than one of the worst movies ever made.

15. $127,154,901 - 2 Fast 2 Furious
Never saw.

16. $124,728,738 - Something's Gotta Give
???

17. $120,277,854 - Seabiscuit
I hate horses.

18. $116,934,650 - S.W.A.T.
Never saw.

19. $111,761,982 - Spy Kids 3D: Game Over
This seemed more like Robert Rodriguez screwing around with CGI techniques than a real movie.

20. $111,127,263 - The Last Samurai
Sucked.

Not a very good movie year for me, yet again.

You seem like you're in a bad mood today, akiratubo. Do you need a hug?

Why would you think that?

[dean]

Saw them all except Spy Kids and Seabiscuit.  I must have done a lot of slacking off that year.

[To be fair, I've seen some just on tv at a much later date.]

[Mr. DS]

Bruce Almighty - I saw that in the theater...I only liked it because of certain ongoings during it in the theater that I won't mention here since its a family site.

Elf - Saw in the theater, after Xmas oddly.  Sort of liked it.

Cheaper By The Dozen - Compromise film...

[lester1/2jr]

I'm scared of all of these. too fancy and huge
