I found this site that adjusts the sales prices for the tickets, according to what year the movie was released. (compensates for inflation.)
I was so glad to see that Star Wars was ranked #2 and is the leading all time Sci Fi film.
Take a look, you'll be amazed at the rankings....

Woohoo!! I just hope they don't give Avatar "Best Film" for a fucking digital cartoon. Fun movie? Yes. BEST FILM? Hardly.
Suck on this Avatar fans. Star Wars kicks ass!! |
Wow Avatar is "only" #15 all time after adjusting for inflation. How sucky of them. By the way they'll pass #14 Return of the Jedi after this week-end and has very good chance of ending up at #11. Remember #10 Snow White had MANY re-releases over serveral decades. Although Star Wars would still be ahead of Avatar remember in 1997 Star Wars had a re-release and made over $138 mil which is $225 mil in today's money. Sorry Avatar is "only" going to be #11 all time. They suck.
Also remember back in 1977 if you wanted to see Star Wars you HAD to go to the movie you didn't have the luxury of
A) waiting for the DVD in 6 months
B) waiting for it to be on cable( didn't appear on HBO until 1983 )
C) stealing it from the internet
