64. The Top 50

Well, if you look at the top 50 highest-grossing films of all time, practically every one is fantasy/sci-fi/animation type films. I think perhaps Titanic and The Da Vinci Code may be the exceptions. The medium of cinema just lends itself best to escapist entertainment with the huge screens, booming sound systems and crowd experience, IMHO, though to be sure there have been some really fantastic dramas done for the big screen. If you want something more meaningful you'd be better off pursuing it in indy movies, a book, the opera, a concert or a dramatic stage play.
