[Erzengel]

Empire
Raiders
Jedi
Back to the Future
T2
Honorable Mention: The Avengers

 

[Max J Power]

Return of the King
Raiders
Toy Story
Saving Private Ryan
Empire

And those just barely beat out T2, Back to the Future, and Toy Story 3.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

This is tough.

I'll go with The Empire Strikes Back, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park and Return of the King. ET, T2 & The Dark Knight just miss the list.

 

[Armored Avenger]

2002- Spider Man

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers was the highest grossing film of 2002. I point this out as it tops my list (though it is really hard to separate it from ROTK as I always view the LOTR trilogy as just one long movie).

As for the rest of a top 5, mine would be:

The Two Towers
The Return of the King
The Dark Knight
The Empire Strikes Back
Jurassic Park (though Toy Story 3 is really close)

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
T2
The Dark Knight
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

 

[Roose Bolton]

Empire
Raiders
Jedi
Batman
Return of the King

 

[CGHulk]

The ones in bold are my five, but the other six I like as well.
1980- The Empire Strikes Back
1981-Raiders Of The Lost Ark
1982- ET
1983- Return of The Jedi
1985- Back To The Future
1991- T2
1993- Jurassic Park
1994- Forrest Gump
1998- Saving Private Ryan
2003- LOTR : Return Of the King
2006- POTC: Dead Man's Chest


Honorable Mention
2012- Marvel's The Avengers

 

[Wolfwood]

Wow, "3 Men and a Baby" was the highest grossing film of it's year? That's pretty shocking. Nothing against the movie, just kinda shocking.

 

[flickchick85]

The Empire Strikes Back
Raiders of the Lost Ark
E.T.
The Dark Knight
The Avengers

 

[The Morningstar]

Empire
Raiders
Avengers
Batman
Back to the Future

 

[Majik1387]

ET
T2

I honestly thought that'd be a harder list to make.

Honorable mentions would be Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Home Alone, Aladdin, and Toy Story 3.

1. The Dark Knight
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Raiders of The Lost Ark
