    Wow! I guess people really go for FANTASY! They may have been the highest grossing movies of all time, but certainly not the best! "You Can't Take It With You" with Lionel Barrymore and "The Grapes of Wrath" with Henry Fonda are excellent movies and more worth the time to watch!

    I guess it bespeaks age when you have only see 9 of these, and honestly, I watched Fast and Furious 6 On Demand about ten days ago because of the hype for Fast and Furious 7. I also wonder, out of sheer curiosity, how many people who have seen Avatar, I have not, in a theater, were alive in 1982 to see ET in a theater, as I was and did? I am also surprised, as befits age, that neither the original Star Wars, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind made the top 50
