This is a comparison between the Mr. Showbiz and Washington Post
lists of the inflation-adjusted top all-time 25 films which are 
said to be calculated by ERC, and the list in the Wall Street Journal
Almanac,also calculated by ERC...but not identical.

Also,the 1998 reissue of Grease is interpolated by adding its nominal
dollars to the inflation-adjusted $309,680,105 from the 1978
$153,112,093...it has yet to make either online list.
** indicates reissues were involved.

Another inflation-adjusted list is reportedly maintained by VARIETY
and Titanic ranks significantly lower.

In late 1998,Mr. Showbiz brought in new figures that increased
older films' numbers...we will reflect these soon.
