Without googling, I'm going to guess 1: Titanic and 2: Star Wars

However, if you adjust for inflation, believe it or not, Gone With the Wind is still the top-grossing movie of all time (or so I've been told).

Titanic has to be there.. Remember this is world wide..so I don't know about GWTW (adjusted)..

Titanic is indeed number one, and by a large margain, number two is.............................The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Titanic...$1,845,000,000
LOTR.....$1,118,900,000
Pirates Thursday numbers are in.....$999,796,572

Not sure if GWTW's adjusted numbers include world wide.

Lord of the Rings? Damn, my age is showing... I figured GR's guess of Star Wars was probably right. I remember Titanic being huge world wide.

OK, I looked it up...I'd assume GWTW remains number one adjusted...here are the numbers:
Domestic actual...$198,676,459
Domestic adjusted...$1,329,453,600
Foreign actual...$400,176,459
There are no foreign adjusted numbers available, I would think that would be a huge task as every country's rate of inflation would be different...nevertheless, one would assume the total adjusted would be around four billion....wow!!!
