Movie Blockbusters of Summers Past


Michael Musto recently posted a list of the Top 10 Biggest Box Office Movies - with the domestic gross adjusted for inflation. Here is the list.  
10--Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
9--The Exorcist
8--Doctor Zhivago
7--Jaws
6--The Ten Commandments
5--Titanic
4--E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial
3--The Sound of Music
2--Star Wars
1--Gone With The Wind
I've seen all these movies more than once, and I would see them all again. 
Any surprises regarding which movies made the list, and which ones didn't?  
I kinda gag that Titanic and Grease didn't make the top 10.
BTW, my favorite movie theatre snack is hot buttered popcorn, lightly salted, with Raisinettes mixed in for contrast.

Titanic is the only movie on that list that doesn't hold up over time as far as script goes, IMO.
