Your list is not adjusted dollars.. that puts newer movies at a huge advantage.

A mediocre movie can make 50-100 Million today.. when in 1970 that would have been an unquestionable blockbuster.

Yes, yes. And I am quite sure "Gone with the Wind" is probably the highest grossing movie of all time if its earnings are adjusted for inflation.

But that is not the point, is it? All the movies listed are of relatively recent vintage, are they not? So would it not show that movies that are family friendly are the movies people will actually go see? The picayune issue of numbers crunching I shall leave to you.
