ftr I think only one of the pirate movies did really good. I would assume if we picked one we should go with 2. sequels usually do better then originals. I think people started to get kind of sick of pirates after number 2 b/c the second one wasn't very good imo.

Titanic, avatar, gone with the wind, Star wars episode 1 and star wars a new hope are good top 5 picks imo. Harry potter 1 and 7.2 are tough on where to put them I remember they both did really well but I do not remember how well. Jaws should be like a 6th, 7th spot imo. JP2 should be closer to the end with TDK... Just my 2 cents.

Re: Team metsandfinsfan - Survivor: PoGStars

Peronally I dont think Bank of America, WalMart or Fannie Mae are gonna be big enough world wide to make top 10.

I dont know who Monsanto is so cant comment on that.

Also how sure are people that Jurasic Park 2 grossed more than number 1?

Otherwise it looks decent.

Monsanto basically has a monopoly on seeds for large scale commercial growers. they also manufacture pesticides that kill bugs but not their seeds. Round Up? They are certainly high up there but may not be in top 10

Re: Team metsandfinsfan - Survivor: PoGStars

Brodeur is WRONG for highest save percentage as well, it's Brian Elliott and he broke it this year. Last year Tim Thomas broke it, before that it was Hasek.

JP2 was one of those people camping outside to see the it in tents movies... I am not 100 percent sure we are doing this w/o research I just always remember seeing it on the top 10 movies lists.

Re: Team metsandfinsfan - Survivor: PoGStars

I'd also be willing to argue that Novak Djokovic holds the record for most ATP points in a season with his 2011 season...I am not 100% sure on this like I am with the NHL save percentage, but would like to hear why you are thinking Nadal and for what year. If anything, I'd think Federer in 2006 would be higher than any Nadal season.
