George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson in O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

Movies to rewatch that are total genius but nobody knows about them anymore.

Maureen O'Sullivan and Warren William in Skyscraper Souls (1932)

Brian Keith, Kim Novak, Guy Madison, Kerwin Mathews, and Alvy Moore in 5 Against the House (1955)

Burt Lancaster, Claudia Cardinale, and Alain Delon in The Leopard (1963)

Teri Hatcher, Charlize Theron, James Spader, Eric Stoltz, Danny Aiello, and Jeff Daniels in 2 Days in the Valley (1996)

Adjusted for inflation these are the biggest box office hits of the 20th Century. In truth these are not the biggest globally speaking as I could only find statistics for the USA and the UK. I've chosen the top 87 from the UK and the top 100 from the USA. American figures in dollars, British figures in total ticket sales.
