Which website shows the top 50 movies each year that earned the most
money at the box office?

Hi there,

A number of web sites list the Top 50 Movies at the Box Office for
each year:

This info is available to subscribers only, but fortunately they offer

back to 1994. Annual Top 250, 1999-present, and various other charts.

Thanks for using Google Answers, and best wishes,

This was exactly what I was looking for...thanks !!
Also, thanks for giving me multiple sites instead of just one.

Here's one more page. It has top 50 movies since 1985, and it was not
in "Google Directory - Box Office Reports" or "Yahoo Directory - Box
Office Reports" at 10:25 GMT (or at 3:25 PDT):

Movies.com (click "Select Year")

In case of movie related topics, I always check out IMDB first. In
this case it also provided lots of useful information:

Back pretty far, but they don't have top 50 for every year.
