So it's a good time to look back at what are the highest-grossing movies ever. 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. So 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.
