It's pretty amazing that they got that many people to come back after the trainwreck that was Transformers 2.

I feel like it should barely be the third highest grossing Transformers movie.

Fourth.

The 1986 one should be #1.

Yes, I counted that one but 2 should be fourth.

Animated > Transformers > Transformers 3 >>>>>> Transformers 2

But you just said it should barely be 3rd, when by the amount of greater-than symbols you've used indicates that the gap between the two is much larger!

I think my favorite thing about Transformers 3 was how Leonard Nimoy refused to do Star Trek Generations because he realized how awful it was, but he somehow agreed to do this.

Leonard Nimoy also did the Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.

Maybe he meant it's barely worse than the 1st one, so it should barely be third instead of second.

That's entertaining in a horrible way. Transformers 3 is just Transformers 3.

imho, the songs released later than the LotR trilogy should be in a separate list. Like, seriously, would any movie *EVER* outsell Titanic if ticket prices weren't over double what they were when that came out? I'm amazed E.T. and Star Wars still crack the top 50.

@azuarc You can look at the prices adjusted for inflation.

I love trotting out that "Gone With the Wind is the most-watched film after inflation" factoid at parties. Makes me look like such a genius!

It wasn't as bad as 2. Not a terrible way to spend a couple of hours I guess.

1 was genuinely fun, but 2 nuked the fridge in a big way.

I think that it's just excellent that you get exactly the top 20 before you hit **** here.

The most common movie goer who went to see these movies, mainly teens, enjoyed Transformers 2.

It's literally the worst feeling in the world when you have a movie night with friends and they all are enjoying Transformers 2 while you can barely bite your lip long enough to get through it.

The Hobbit will probably hit top charts. I'm expecting at least third place from that movie.

Also, The real shocker here is. Kung Fu Panda 2 is in the top 50? Wtf?

I feel the need to point out that any "inflation adjusted" list of anything needs to be taken with a large grain of salt. Inflation adjustment, especially over such a long span of time, is more guesswork than science.
