    Avatar is NOT even close to being the #1 movie of all time
    The biggest movie of all time in North America -- adjusted for inflation -- is 1939's "Gone with the Wind," with sales of almost $1.5 billion, according to tracking firm Box Office Mojo. "Avatar" ranks No. 26 by that measure.



    Can't compare a thing without taking inflation and ticket prices into consideration.

    Anyone care to guess, without looking at the list, what the ALL time "R" Rated movie is? I'll bet NO ONE knows this 1)without looking and 2)realizes it is almost all kids movies or PG stuff that sells the most.

                      Movies like that don't interest me one bit. I had to take a client to watch it, I was bored out of my mind.

                        I didn't see it so can't really judge the movie, but from what I saw commercial wise it looked very ridiculous.

                                        Gone with the wind is not R-rated.

                                          When Gone with the Wind was released in 1939, the MPAA ratings system did not exist. The movie was rated G in 1971 without comment.

                                          The MPAA ratings system was introduced in 1968 with:
                                          • G (general audiences)
                                          • M (mature audiences-parental guidance suggested, but no restriction),
                                          •R (Restricted, no one under 16 admitted without an accompanying parental guardian - later raised to 17)
                                          • X (no one under 17 admitted)

                                          Parents initially thought the M rating indicated stronger content than the R rating so it was later revised to PG.

                                          If Gone with the Wind were re-rated today it would likely receive a PG rating because their are some elements that aren't suitable for young children.

                                              The Hangover made an additional $182,100,366 in international markets, for a total worldwide gross of $459,422,869, making it the tenth highest grossing movie of 2009, as well as the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the United States (second when accounting for inflation), surpassing a record previously held by Beverly Hills Cop for almost 25 years.[2][22] Out of all R-rated movies, it is the third highest grossing ever in the U.S., behind only The Passion of the Christ and The Matrix Reloaded.[23]

                                                Still have not seen the right answer, remember its adjusted for inflation that matters.
