See -- I've never figured out how they do a fair comparison in these polls.

After all, the COST of going to a movie in 1977 (Star Wars) was less than the cost of going to a movie in 2004 -- so of course it grossed less at the box office. But that doesn't mean less PEOPLE actually went to see it.

p.s. - I've never seen Titanic

Only 9 of the top 100:

26 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
38 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
39 Beverly Hills Cop (1984)
50 Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
52 Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)
57 Gone with the Wind (1939)
84 Elf (2003)
93 Three Men and a Baby (1987)
96 Hannibal (2001)

I haven't seen 24 of the next 100, and 39 of the rest of the list.

And the thing that makes it more surprising is that my parents didn't like us going go movies. So, "Rocky" was the first movie I ever saw in a theatre (and that was a drive-in). The 2nd wasn't until "Return of the Jedi." came out. It wasn't until my sophomore year of college when I was out on my own that I started going to movies on a regular basis.

[edit: missed one]

Man, I think there were only 7 in the top 100 I haven't seen. ALthough the ones I haven't seen, I have seen at least part of them:

Toy Story
Toy Story 2
Gone With the Wind
Pearl harbor
The Exorcist ( I would have seen it but I fell asleep [Wink] )
Elf (I haven't even seen part of this... mostly because it hasn't been on HBO or video yet)
Passion of the Christ (again not on video or on HBO yet)

What can I say, I have worked in a video store, and a movie theater [Big Grin] . So yeah I am a movie buff.

edit: added elf & passion

Oooh, looks like I'm winning for seeing the least number of movies. And if I checked that list about three years ago, it probably would have been closer to 75% of the released films. I only recently started watching a lot of movies.
 
Posted by Zamphyr (Member # 6213) on :
 
Haven't seen 6 on the first list, 10 on the inflation adjusted list. Somehow I still manage to find time to read a fair bit as well.
 
Posted by littlemissattitude (Member # 4514) on :
 
I have not seen 40 of the top 100 on the original list. Those that I haven't seen but would like to see are:

5) Shrek 2
19) Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
20) Spider-Man 2
21) X2
92) Chicago

Of the rest, I either just don't care, or I actively avoided them for one reason or another. Those I actively avoided were:

27)How the Grinch Stole Christmas
48)Mission Impossible II
53)Terminator 2: Judgment Day
74)Mission Impossible
79)Top Gun
97)Catch Me If You Can

Of the second hundred on the first list, I've not seen 58; of the third hundred, I've not seen 54. But I've seen a lot of others in their places. [Razz]

On the adjusted list, I've only not seen 22 of the films listed.

Oh, pooka. I think you'd laugh at the Grinch. That's one of my very favorite movies.

There seem to be more that I haven't seen in the adjusted gross list which makes sense. But, I HAVE seen and do own Gone With the Wind. [Smile]
