Are we supposed to guess what the other 5 are, or will you be revealing that in due course ?

Would've made even more profit if we hadn't had to re-shoot all your parts with a cock-double.


BTW, is your sister on the rag? Cos your Momma's cock tastes funny.

funny thing, but the gross of all of these movie combined is still only (just about exactly) half of the total Titanic gross ($1.6 billion!).

Surely "Gone with the wind" should be there somewhere? Maybe that and "titantic" come under most sucsessfull films of all time!

Heard "Gone with the wind" grossed more then "Titanic" when taken into consideration now sky high ticket prices and inflation compared to the 1930's-1940's!

titanic made $1.635 billion in worldwide box office profit - the most for a single movie by many many many $s - lotr the return of the king made $1.02billion and the passion of the christ only $0.58billion.

but titanic had a huge budget (more than twice that of lotr return of the king, 8 times that of the passion...and 5,714 that of blair witch! so titanic only made $9 for every $1 of budget, compared to $7,104 profit per $1 of blair witch's budget (and $184 per $1 of deep throat's budget!). out of interest, gone withthe wind actually had a pretty big budget for it's time ($3.9million, almost twice that of james bond's from russia... made 25 years later). It's huge box office might have made $100 profit per $1 of it's budget but you would still have been better investing in deep throat!

The most influential? So does that mean that every other movie will now have the line "I'm too old for this"?
