Top 10 Highest Grossing Films of All Time 

Biggest Earning Movies Worldwide (as of February 28, 2008)

I won't keep you waiting folks. Movie goers, may I present to you the Top 10 All Time Highest Grossing Films The World Has Ever Known!

10.) Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire - The 4th installment of the Harry Potter saga and is also my favorite in the Harry Potter movies as of today. Grossed $892,194,397 in the Hollywood box office.

9.) Jurassic Park - Steven Spielberg is definitely one of the best if not the best director in the world. His movie, Jurassic Park garnered a total of $919,700,000. This is a movie jam packed with action, thriller, and will keep you at the edge of your seats.

8.) The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Considered as one of the most successful movies ever created. Peter Jackson's masterpiece is absolutely included in the list with a sum of $921,600,000.

7.) Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace - George Lucas is surely proud with his Star Wars creation as The Phantom Menace soared to the 7th spot garnering a sum earnings of $922,379,000. This is also my favorite and I personally think it's the best of the Star Wars episodes. I really loved the cool light saber fight scene between Darth Maul, Qui-gon Jin, and Obiwan Kenobi.

6.) Harry Potter and The Order of The Phoenix - Released in 2007, this is the 5th sequel of J.K Rowling's novel-turned movie with $937,000,866. So far, this 5th Harry Potter film is the darkest of all with Daniel Radcliffe getting more matured in his roles and appearance.

5.) Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Jerry Bruckheimer's final sequel made it in the big time list of topnotch movies. I commend Johnny Depp for his superb outrageous performance! $958,404,152 for you mate!

4.) Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone - It is now a proven fact that Harry Potter movies are indeed popular and outstanding. The 1st film of Harry Potter deserves an excellent rating as it is, for the moment, the biggest earner of all 5 released Harry Potter films. $968,657,891 is its total gross.

3.) Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest - $1,060,332,628 for the 2nd sequel of Pirates saga and is also my favorite in the trilogy. I think, this is also the best of the 3 sequels. What do you think?

2.) The Lord of the Rings: The Return of The King - I must say, this last installment is also one of the best movies ever made. J.R.R. Tolkien's Trilogy brought to life by Peter Jackson in the big screen is truly remarkable and classical! No wonder, it has gained a staggering $1,129,219,252.

1.) Titanic - Topping the list and the best of the best is James Cameron's timeless highest grossing film in the whole world - Titanic. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's romance story will make you fall in love with the movie. Amounting to a whopping $1,835,300,000 for worldwide box office, this is by far, the most popular Hollywood film as well!
