    Movie quiz

    without using google, please post the top 10 highest gross films ADJUSTED FOR TICKET PRICE INFLATION

    so a movie that did 400m in 1982 would obviously be a bigger box office take than 400m today

    TOP, once all 10 have been said I will post the list. There are some shockers in there for sure

    Other guesses
    LOTR - Return of the King
    E.T.
    one of the Indiana Jones movies
    The GodFather - I remember reading that it was the highest grossing film the year it was made which is something like 1971 - so big inflation adjustment there.

    I know it's recent, but I'm throwing Spider Man out there.

    James Cameron must have got a few... Terminator, T2: Judgement Day, Abyss?

    There's probably at least one Disney cartoon in there, from the 30s or something.

    For a Disney flick I'll say The Lion King, that thing was huge when it came out.

    Oh and I'll also put in Jurrassic Park and The Lost World... I think they would be there.

    For Disney, I'm guessing Fantasia, Cinderella, or Snow White. Has to be an old one.
