	Movies - List of top-grossing movies in the United States and Canada

Here are the 25 top-grossing movies of all time in the U.S. and Canada, based on total receipts to July 2005. This figure is often called the U.S. box office or the North American box office, both of which are inaccurate.

Highest-grossing in the US and Canada, adjusted for inflation

This is a list of the highest-grossing movies of all time in the U.S. and Canada, commonly referred to as domestic gross in the two countries, where "gross" is defined as:

US and Canada box-office revenues in U.S. dollars
adjusted for the effects of inflation using the U.S. consumer price index for January of the year of release (except for long runners, see below)

This list was compiled on December 17, 2004 based on data from .

The adjustment for inflation better reflects the importance of older films, as lists compiled without adjustment for inflation will consist almost entirely of films released in the last 20 years. Note that this may tend to overstate the ranking of films that have long runs or repeated re-releases.
