What are the most popular movies ever?

Hollywood’s been filming movies for quite a while—since 1910, actually, when the film In Old California was shot there, though back then most of the business happened in New York. Since, we’ve gotten years and years of blockbuster hits and critical flops alike. Not to mention the countless movies made outside of Hollywood, many of which have found plenty of success. But which movies are the most successful? That depends on how you measure success, we suppose. For a start, here are the top-ranked movies by box office numbers.

Top-Grossing Films of All Time

  • Avatar (2009)
  • Avengers: Endgame (2019)
  • Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
  • Titanic (1997)
  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
  • Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
  • Jurassic World (2015)
  • The Lion King (2019)
  • The Avengers (2012)

These might not be the movies you think of when you think “best movies ever.” They’re pretty great, don’t get us wrong, but you could probably name 10 more movies off the top of your head that also probably deserve to be on a “greatest films” list. So let’s look at the data another way:

IMDb’s Top-Rated Films of All Time

  • The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
  • The Godfather (1972)
  • The Dark Knight (2008)
  • The Godfather Part II (1974)
  • 12 Angry Men (1957)
  • Schindler’s List (1993)
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
  • Pulp Fiction (1994)
  • The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
  • The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

That looks a little more diverse, doesn’t it? But chances are, you’ve still got plenty of movies in your head that you’d consider all-time greats, but which aren’t on either of these lists. But if you ask us, that’s the beauty of cinema! We’ve all got our own tastes and our own life-changing stories, and half the fun is showing those stories to others. What’s your favorite silver-screen story?
