I went to watch the fourth one on a dvd outing at Warner Bros the other week. I couldn't imagine much worse, but it was my way back into remembering cinematography and reviewing the dvd with feelings that rot me inside. Luckily, so few "reviewers" turned up, that they didn't show it and i just watched interviews with young arseholes who act in it and filmmakers who had slowly let us all down.

Does the list include merchandising / dvd / dvd extras / special dvds etc?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

No Box office only

 

[Basil Fawlty]

I can't believe Die Hard isn't there.

 

[Trufflehound]

These arent the most succesfull at all though are they as they dont take into account inflation? It should eb measured by the number of people that actually went to see the film not how much they paid.

Try this:

Box Office adjusted for inflation

This is only for North America however - can't find any global adjusted figures.

 

[Jello]

Seen all but 5. Mainly on DVD so will see King Kong and Narnia soon no doubt
Best film got to be Star Wars then Monsters Inc

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Die Hard 1 - £ 137 400 000
Die Hard 2 - £ 237 700 000
Die hard 3 - £ 354 000 000

Not with your choice of films, Gareth, no.

And you can talk with your terminal relegation miseries. If I may fudge my metaphors here, you are the football equivalent of a Cold War 1950s Hungarian Harold Pinter-esque film about the inner turmoil within the soul in a tractor factory run by allegorical termites. In slow motion.

No wonder you seek solace in Hollywood dross and tipping three-legged rockinghorses at Uttoxeter.

Brilliant.



The list means f-all too with the price variations over the years.Not even inflation adjusted tables will give you an idea it's all about bums on seats ,which Ch4 did very well recently.

a fraction of your films above feature.

I've seen all them above, christ I have no life.

I can't actually be arsed to be come up with a best 3 as none of them are the sort of movies I'd want to see more than once.

Everyone knows that American Graffiti is the greatest movie of all time anyway.
