It seems that the bottom line in this discussion revolves around Just how much
money the movie is making.  In other words hollywood is strictly interested in
how much cash they make, not the popularity or memorability of a movie in 
itself.  As far as the most popular movie, I would vote for Gone With the Wind
, Casablanca, or one of the other classics.  Will the Star Wars trilogy stand
up to the test of time?  Or have we all fallen victim to one of the best
marketing efforts of all time?  Certainly these movies have made someone alot
of money, but what have they contributed to society?
