It was the king of the box office, eventually grossing over $2 billion worldwide. It's impressive that Avatar was able to become the most successful movie of all time with such a force of movie piracy out against it. It's been pirated 21 million times on the net.

The Departed, Inception and The Dark Knight are the only movies worth watching here, the rest are rubbish.

I really couldn't give a F**K! After all i have more important things to think about!
Like finding a job, feeding my kids tomorrow, paying my rent, getting my book published.
I don't care how many times a film has been ripped or which have.

It's a shame some of the best movies are the ones illegally downloaded, they deserve the money. Things like Transformers though...yeah I wouldn't pay for that either.

The departed wasn't as good as I was hoping it to be as it's a Re-write of A three part Korean Trilogy called ' Infernal Affairs ' These were of much higher quality and i recommend anyone who liked Departed, go watch the true originals.
08/02/2012 17:03
Adam, to be fair I would hate to think of anyone paying good money for those films. Wheras the Departed is of some value.
13/02/2012 09:47
I don't know how to download films legally or not - so its not me!!!
08/02/2012 17:31
why ain't i surprized some of these films like transformers, dark night, avatar and the departed was best films of the year they came out and it's the people who download and cody them to pirate dvd and sold on the black market.
08/02/2012 16:47
I hope anyone who downloaded the Hulk, Transformers or Avatar got a nasty virus from them. Those three don't deserve to be here and the Departed should be much more popular than that!

Does anyone else find it annoying having to click the next page thing?

Considering the ridiculous cinema costs and £20 for a dvd it's no wonder people are downloading. I watched Avatar for free (legally), rented the Hangover from Lovefilm, and bought Inception on dvd for cheap after it had been out a while. Tbh thought all of them were rubbish, glad that I hadn't paid £7.50 + transport to go to the cinema. If they want people to pay the full price then introduce a level of quality so you know you won't be ripped off - I watched The Grey yesterday and there were about 7 trailers before it came on, you could tell all of them were really low grade films. American remake of a Uruguyan horror film, 2 all action, no thought war films, one awful looking film about the presidents daughter being kidnapped and taken into a prison camp in space with seemingly only Scottish prisoners and two really cheap humour comedy films.

I sense greed here the like of which we mere mortals (consumers) cannot comprehend!
How many people are there on the planet?
Count the billions here.
How many unpaid-for downloads are we talking about?
Count the millions here.
How many millions are there in a billion?
How much greed is there out there for so few to gather at our expense?
What`s the minimum wage in America?
What`s the minimum wage in the UK?
God help us all if the Premiership footballers decide to become filmstars!

Avatar is such a good film after seeing a pirated copy i just have to own a legal copy when it comes out on blue ray in 3D, pirated copies can also be a good advertisement for the legal copy.
09/02/2012 01:05
I miss read the headline..... I found it hard to imagine a film with more pirates in it than.............
08/02/2012 19:32
MSN U SHOULD GET UR FACTS RITE THAT PICTURE IS OF PIRATES OF THE CARRIBEAN: ON STRANGER TIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
08/02/2012 17:51
I guess this is also a decent way of showing the popularity of certain movies, therefore why would Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean) not be impressed with the 14m downloads?
@eowie nswdu... What?
23/02/2012 08:55
Im a pirate, YARRRRRRR!! my treasure is file sharing, **** you ACTA
08/02/2012 18:32
We asked a panel of 100 pirates which films they downloaded and burned the most?
If E.T. is one of the top answers, you've won!
Seriously who compiles these statistics?
Some more useless statistis:
8 out of 10 owners said their cats prefered Blu-Ray rips.
97 out of 136 women said their skin felt softer after downloading Avatar.
80% of statistics are made up.
08/02/2012 21:23
And how many people download then go onto buy the film either on dvd or blu ray? no statics for that is there?
How many of those downloads are redownloads?
How many of those downloads are by countries that are not allowed the film?
How many of those downloads are by people who cant afford the dvd (ever heard of region 5?)
the box office always manages to recoup the cost of the films, pay its actors / staff and make a profit, you just have to look at the box office numbers and figures they like to shout out about.
Half the trailers show the best bits nowadays and do not really show the film for what it is, i like to try before i buy, does that make me a bad person?

lower cinema prices simples!

I find it funny, that the picture for #10 - Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End is actually from Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides lol
