Steven Spielberg directed E. T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and in 1982 it was released to crowd pleasing results. This is an adventure drama that won the hearts of the audience, when they fell in love with a cute little outer space alien.

A movie that managed to make back half of its budget, in just the first weekend of box office sales, was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Johnny Depp played Captain Jack Sparrow, in the 2006 opening of this famed and profitable film.

Spider Man comic book inspired this film starring Toby Maguire, who played the part of Peter Parker, the newspaper reporter who suffered a bite from a radioactive spider, which ended up making Peter transform into Spider Man. 2002 is when it was released.
