movies a.k.a. the $100 million list

A few years ago (I'm not sure exactly when) Isaac and I decided to start watching all the movies that have ever made $100 million.  We started this when looking at www.imdb.com and saw the all-time box office list.  This first list we looked at was the all-time USA list, which only had about 350 on it.  We thought oh that's not bad, let's look at some other lists, like the worldwide and adjusted for inflation.  We added in the adjusted for inflation list because we realized that there were a lot of other movies that should be on a "bestseller" kind of list, but were not on the US list.  For example:  Pinocchio only grossed $84.3 million.  On the adjusted for inflation list though it is the number five movie for all-time gross.  Titanic has the all-time highest gross, but when adjusted for inflation it is actually #13 on the list.  Interesting.  The adjusted for inflation list currently has 571 movies to the 352 on the US list.

It is a lot harder than we thought it would be to watch all of those movies, considering the amount of movies we had both already watched.  It turns out we have watched about 550 out of about 680 movies.

We still have a long way to go!
