Great news, Titanic deserves to keep that place (and I certainly don't want star wars to surpass it)

Not that TFA deserves the #1 spot, but I can't stand a 4 hour movie about a sinking boat being #1 either.

The Poseidon Adventure ('72, not the 2005 remake) >>>>>>>>> Titanic.

Well neither of them will be #1 anyway. They're merely fighting over 2nd

Not that #1 deserves to be #1 either, its only ever talked about for the money it grossed. Nobody remembers shit about the movie itself.

Oh god, I just realized Dances With Smurfs 3D is the #1 movie worldwide by a longshot.

And that ladies and gentleman is why the US > the world:

And Gone With The Wind is still #1 adjusted for inflation so don't nobody try to pull that card either!

It's completely and utterly insane to not account for inflation. By the only fair way of doing it, Gone With the Wind is the highest grossing movie.

I wouldn't say it's confirmed yet, but in any case I'm just sad that a shitty movie like Avatar is still #1, heck that movie didn't even deserve being in the top 20

I'd say the opposite...

You're going to need to elaborate on that one, because I don't see how. What the box office represents should typically be either

a) How many people went to see the film
or
b) How much money was spent to see the movie

The only way it makes sense to compare cash flows between years, is to make them real. Comparing the nominal sums of two years is comparing two unequal kinds of money.
