3. Jurassic Park
#17 - $1.029 billion Jurassic Park is widely credited as being the movie that brought about Hollywood's love of CGI, and while that's not the only ace to Steven Spielberg's movie, it's certainly something it's massive success helped instigate; with a haul of over $914 million, it became the highest grossing movie of all-time and kept that spot for an impressive five years. No one was happier with that result than Spielberg, especially as it's been reported that the filmmaker pocketed a mind-blowing $250 million of Jurassic Park's box office haul. The movie itself remains one of his best. Utilising state of the art technology, the filmmaker delivered something people had never seen before, and it holds up even two decades later. While it fell short of the $1 billion mark in the early 90s, a 3D re-release a couple of years ago proved to be a massive success, just pushing it over. Looking back at the movie, it's fair to say that it deserves every penny.
