	List of highest-grossing films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The following are two non-definitive lists of the all-time highest-grossing films.
		For example, the film which has sold the highest number of tickets ever is Gone with the Wind, despite the population in 1939 being far lower than it is today, yet it does not feature anywhere on this list.
		The list is based on the total worldwide box office receipts, updated to March 9, 2006.

		Film preservation of decaying film stock is a matter of concern to both film historians and archivists, and to companies interested in preserving their existing products in order to make them available to future generations (and thereby increase revenue).
		Stock widths and the film format for images on the reel have had a rich history, though most large commercial films are still shot on (and distributed to theaters) as 35 mm prints.
		Animation is the technique in which each frame of a film is produced individually, whether generated as a computer graphic, or by photographing a drawn image, or by repeatedly making small changes to a model unit (see claymation and stop motion), and then photographing the result with a special animation camera.

	Independent Headlines: 98: The year diversity reigned 12/31/98
		Adam Sandler's comedy about a football-playing waterboy grossed approximately $140 million, beating out such films as "Deep Impact," "Godzilla" and "Lethal Weapon 4." Of the many explanations behind the unexpected success of Sandler's opus is the idea that, throughout his career, Sandler and his films have evolved into an event.
		Both directors had been hailed as masters of their trade, and both films are highly anticipated, but the fact that they returned at all is enough to make the news.
		Stanley Kubrick, whose film "Eyes Wide Shut" stars Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman and is slated for release this summer, has directed such films as "Dr. Strangelove" and "A Clockwork Orange." Terrance Malik, whose World War II opus "The Thin Red Line" opens nationally Jan. 8, hasn't made a movie since the 1970s.
