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).

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!!!

GWTW and Titanic-- never underestimate the selling power of a chick flick. I don't have much use for "Titanic" but I have to admit I love GWTW.

GWTW was the best and worst....great acting, wonderful story....and enough racial sterotypes to brand it a racist movie! It has to be watched in the context of the times in which it was made but some scenes are difficult....

The book is harder to take with stereotyping, but again, I think it was a product of its time. Margaret Mitchell was tossed out of the Junior League as a young woman for wanting to support black charities and after her death it was revealed that she paid the tuition of 40-50 African American med students. Interesting life, that woman had.
