When Hollywood talks about the highest grossing films today, they (almost) never calculate inflation. That would make them look bad, because films that were shown when the admittance to a theater was a few cents, or a couple of bucks, beat out all, or nearly all of the stuff that they produce today.
This video is interesting, to me anyway, because it shows those highest grossing movies from 1930 to 2022. And it includes a bunch of movies I used to watch on WGN's Family Classics when I was kid, like Treasure Island, Tom Sawyer, and The Sea Wolf. And even the stuff that fell off the list in the 1980s or '90s was interesting, like Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon.
A number of early Disney classics are on the list for a while, like Fantasia, or Bambi. Even Song of the South was on the list for a LONG time. Makes you wonder why Disney forgot everything they ever knew about making films. Oh yeah. They fired all of the old guys before they could train the younger generation, not that the current generation thinks they have anything to learn.
The number of classics that live on the list for a while, aside from Gone with the Wind (the overall winner) was amazing. We get things like Casablanca (briefly) and The Ten Commandments and Doctor Zhivago. All good to great movies.
This is the video Highest Grossing FILMS (Adjusted for Inflation) from SMail.
