“Gone with the Wind,” originally released in movie theaters in 1939, is the highest-grossing film of all time. The movie raked in more than $7.2 billion worldwide (in 2020 dollars) at the box office. It is a beloved classic (but one that is being reevaluated for its depiction of race and slavery).

When “The Godfather” was released in movie theaters in 1972, it was instantly hailed as one of the greatest films of all time. It took in just shy of $1.5 billion worldwide (in 2020 dollars) at the box office.
