What was the top grossing movie in each year of the 80’s and 90’s? I’m glad you asked. OK, nobody asked, but I thought it would be interesting to take a look back at the last two decades of the 20th Century, when the blockbuster came into its own, and see which flick was tops in each year. We’ll start with the 90’s today and do the 80’s on Thursday.
The 90’s were interesting. You had the juggernaut that was Titanic of course, but also some movies that you might not remember being the highest grossing flick for a particular year. In addition, Tom Hanks starred in three of the top grossing movies. Three!
The numbers listed after each flick represent its domestic gross (thanks to Box Office Mojo).
1999 Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace ( $431,088,301)
1998 Saving Private Ryan ($216,540,909)
1997 Titanic ($600,788,188)
1996 Independence Day ($306,169,268)
1995 Toy Story ($191,796,233)
1994 Forrest Gump ($329,694,499)
1993 Jurassic Park ($357,067,947)
1992 Aladdin ($217,350,219)
1991 Terminator 2: Judgment Day ($204,843,345)
1990 Home Alone ($285,761,243)

I’ve seen all of these. I’m super mainstream!
I’ve seen all of them except for Aladdin, so I’m right there with you. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I can literally remember seeing each one of those movies in the theater when they came out. Why does it seem like going to the movie just isn’t as much fun anymore?
I still enjoy it, but it’s different when you are younger. Plus, there aren’t as many good blockbusters as there used to be (at least in my opinion).
