No more guesses on the Lists A? OK, try List C. What do these films have in common? - Avatar - Gone With the Wind - Sound of Music - The Birth of a Nation - Titanic ---

It seems like a weak connection, but they are all over two hours long. ---

Largest grossing movies accounting for inflation? ---

Almost. Hint: There was no adjustment for inflation. ---

Not quite. _Top Gun: Maverick_ grossed 100 times what The Birth of a Nation did, but the former doesn’t qualify for the list, while the latter does. Meanwhile Lists A1, A2, A7 have received little interest. ☹ I should go away quietly. ---

Could it be largest grossing non-sequels ---

They are the largest grossing movies of their respective year _and_ decade. ---

Close enough. Each of the movies on List C was, at one time, the highest-grossing movie _ **of All-Time**._ I thought it interesting how _Gone With the Wind_ held the record for so very long. It was followed by _Sound of Music_, which also held the record for a long while. _Titanic_ kept the record for 12 years. _Avatar_ 15 years but probably won’t hold on much longer.
