As of last Friday, Iron Man 3 has become the latest film to gross more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It has become only the 16th film in history to do so (at least, not adjusted for ticket price inflation), and did so in only 22 days. Now, Shane Black has become the most unlikely of candidates to have directed a billion-dollar flick.
It’s a club that’s becoming slightly less prestigious with every passing year. Foreign markets are becoming even bigger box office draws to the studios than the domestic one, and greater advertising pushes, bigger and more bloated sequels, and effects-heavy action (not to mention rising ticket prices) are leading to bigger and more top-heavy opening weekends. And it’s becoming more common: Four of these films (a full quarter of the list) were released in 2012.
Here are the 16 films that make up the Billion-Dollar Club, from the lowest- to highest-ranked on Flickchart:

A week of quality over quantity. If for some reason none of the new movies stremaing this week catch your eye, the Ken Burns doc on Baseball is also available, and is a good watch if you need to fall asleep on the couch at the end of a long work day.

In Search of Best Picture
17, Feb 2011by Nigel Druitt
As the Oscar telecast creeps up on us again, it begs the question: How many times has the Academy really gotten this “Best Picture” thing right, anyway?
Think about it. How many controversial decisions are there in the Academy’s history? How many times is a movie other than Best Picture long remembered as the best of the year?

70,000 Flickcharters Pick Their Top 20 of 2010
29, Dec 2010
by Nathan Chase
During 2010, we received over 49 million rankings where movie fans have been placing new films from the year onto their lists and putting them up against the best movies of all time. This list culminates those rankings to generate the movies of 2010 that are highest ranked by all of the users of Flickchart. This list is only accurate up to the day this was published, so if you’re eager to see if things have changed, you can check the daily results at http://www.flickchart.com/charts/2010.
Don’t forget too that once you’re there, you can further filter the list to get the best of 2010 combined with any of your favorite actors or genres. Best animated movies of 2010? Check. Best Jonah Hill movies of 2010? Check. Best animated movies starring Jonah Hill of 2010? Check.
While there certainly may be some debate on what made the cut and where each film landed on the list that may not line up with your personal best of 2010, we’re surprised and interested to see such a wide variety of blockbusters, indie films, animated, documentary, comedy, sci-fi, and action make their presence this year. We’ve been making strides to improve the global rankings to be as accurate as possible, and we’ll have even more innovations on this front in the new year – along with a laundry list of new features we’ve got cooked up.
Remember, if you watched and ranked these movies on your Flickchart, you helped to create this list! If not, be sure to rank your favorites of 2010 to influence the list for the future! Without further adieu, here are your Top 20 of 2010:

What do your fellow Flickcharters have to say?
willhunting – “Aren’t these pretty much the same movie? Either way, The A-Team was actually damn fun. Just turn off your brain and enjoy. I was afraid of how Rampage was going to do but I thought he did great. Every character, even the bad guys are enjoyable in some way. ”
Avenger7 – “The A-Team is what The Losers was trying to be but failed. The Hannibal character said it best with one line of dialogue, “Overkill is underrated” and in this case, it’s probably true.”
(From The A-Team vs. The Losers discussion)
