Well, I think that Gone with the Wind and Star wars are definitely classics that worth to be in the top 5 of best movies…a timeless story, compelling scenario, dazzling actors…

I don’t think they can be compare to ‘Ironman” or any new blockbusters…they are rather commercialy orientated and target a specific public…. I can’t wait for the new India Jonhes to be released but Harrison Ford seems quite old, despite some serious IT correction…and the trail gave me a sense of deja v….I am waiting also for the release of the new Sex and the City !!!

I really enjoyed Iron Man. I am glad Robert Downey Jr got a second chance..and his personality matches Tony Stark’s (Iron Man) very well. The movie was well done, with a little bit of everything for any fan. The choice for Nick Fury (an officer of S.H.I.E.L.D) was perfect as well. I think Samuel L. Jackson and Downey will make an amazing team.

I am really looking forward to the fourth Indiana Jones film as well. However, I do not think it will do as well as Iron Man on the opening weekend.

By the way, to another earlier poster, the “Dude” in the aforementioned “Big Lebowski” was Jeff Bridges, not Beau (Bo).

I own Star Wars and Gone With The Wind. Love them. Titanic, not so much, because I knew how it ended, lol. My 13-year-old son loved “Iron Man.” I haven’t seen it yet. I do love the song by Black Sabbath though, ha. ha. My only hope is that Robert Downey Jr. is making good use of his second chance at a film career, because he is a very good actor and it would be a shame if he were to screw this up again. Most people don’t get one chance, let alone two.

Yeah Mike I suppose it’s a cool diversion to talk about movies, but tell me… what’s going on with all of the y/a glitches lately. Shouldn’t that be the real topic of today? The 1×5″ box that you can’t read the answer behind, no avatars, not being able to delete your own question, not being able to add to the comments, the glitch in the thumbs up and down. THESE are the real issues we should be seeing in your ASK MIKE section… not some meaningless fluff abour movies. When is some serious programming attention going to be given to y/a?

Does this list take into account that movies like Star Wars, Gone With the Wind and Snow White have had several releases to the theaters and not all money is from the original release? Not all $200 million from Gone With The Wind is from 1939. I’d like to see the formula.

So despite recessions, despressions the Entertainment business still booms.Well even if one attends a movie, do theatres refund money? Is there a way for the public to say NOT! a good movie, because despite what is said they still have your money. I mean every movie can’t Share the #1 spot but still they are making money. At what point can one make a statement that this is a bad movie and I want my money back?

The new Indiana Jones will do somewhere between the new Star Wars movies and the latest Rocky installment. It won’t be breaking any records though it will give George Lucas a nice profit, as usual.
