The 10 highest-grossing movies of all time

While blockbusters like "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Avatar" have demolished box-office records, they're still no match for the heavy hitters of years past when you adjust for inflation.

So for this list, we looked at domestic box-office grosses adjusted for inflation to see what old movies would have made in today's dollars, as calculated by Box Office Mojo. That means there's no "Avatar" on this list.

The original 1977 "Star Wars" comes in high, but not quite first. You might be surprised by some of the other titles.
