Well they keep making more and more up budget movies all the time. E.T is just an example of a very high gross movie. Especially considering what year it was made. where maybe not all movies would have gotten that much money. But I have i a feeling it might be the Rocky Horror Show. Because it is the longest viewing movie of all time. It was sucssesfull with a very particular type of people. And they love it so much they Keeping going to see special viewings of it. So even after all this time that movie is still raking in money years after it's release.
According to several online sources, the highest grossing movie in US history is Avatar, released in 2009. Interestingly, both it and the second highest grossing film, 1997's Titanic, were written and directed by James Cameron.
See the link below for the most up-to-date listing of the biggest money-makers among movies.
To date, 'Avatar' has taken in excess of $2.7 billion worldwide, however when you adjust for inflation the ticket sales for the 1939 film 'Gone with the Wind' would be worth over $6 billion today.
The biggest grossing Hollywood movie of all time is Marvel's The Avengers. The film came out in 2012 and grossed over $600 million, beating The Dark Knight from the top spot.

It would not be possible to find a definitive listing of the top rated movie scenes of all time as this is subjective so two people compiling a list are unlikely to choose the same scenes. There are specialised websites dealing with the movie industry and each will have their own version of their top rated scenes .
No one can say what the top 3 movies of all time are because everybody has their own opinion. E.g. I like fighting films so my top Movie would be "Never Back Down" or "Greenstreet"
In my opnion, I think it was. It was my all time favorite really. The movie is pretty longg, but it's still amazing. How the graphics are etc. It does have high box top ratings or so .

James Cameron's Avatar, the top grossing movie of all time, was nominated for nine Academy Awards. Avatar grossed $2.8 billion from worldwide theatres. Ironically, The Hurt Locker took home the Oscar for Best Film that year, the lowest-grossing movie to ever win the award.
