#4 Titanic
Released in 1997, this USA classic has grossed $2.265 billion through its initial run and subsequent re-releases. For twelve years, it held the record as the highest-grossing film of all time before being surpassed by Avatar.
A fictionalized account of the sinking of the RMS Titanic, the story follows Rose, an aristocrat, and Jack, a poor artist, who fall in love aboard the ill-fated ship. Their romance is cut short by the ship’s collision with an iceberg, leading to a tragic fight for survival in the freezing Atlantic.
