No. 67 - E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
I remember watching this movie with a bunch of friends in the front row of the theater because the movie was sold out and we arrived late. I didn’t leave until my tears had dried up so that my buddies wouldn’t make fun of me.
No. 66 - Sling Blade (1996)
Dwight Yoakam is sure good as a bad guy. What a performance. Billy Bob ain’t too bad himself. Here is one of the more funny scenes from the movie.
No. 65 - The Godfather (1972)
Another flick that would have been ranked higher with more viewings. I’m not crazy about the “trailer” I posted below, I think it’s from a bonus DVD, but I couldn’t find another good quality original trailer. There are also some spoilers in it.

Top Grossing Movies of the 80’s and 90’s: The 1980’s By Year

On Tuesday, we took a look at the top grossing flicks for each year of the 90’s. Today, it’s all about the 80’s.
At least one real surprise for me - who remembered that Three Men and a Baby was the top flick of 1987? I sure didn’t. I knew it was a hit, but number 1? Wow.
Three Men and a Baby beat out Fatal Attraction, Beverly Hills Cop II and Good Morning, Vietnam for the top spot that year. Then again, its total gross was less than any of the other number one films of the 80’s. Pay special attention to the video I posted for this flick. Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary.
The rest of the top films are pretty predictable, especially 1980 through 1983.
OK, did I just discuss Three Men and a Baby and not even mention The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders by name? Wow (again).
Thanks again to Box Office Mojo for the information.
1989 Batman ($251,188,924)
