The ' 90s were an explosive era for cinema. Big-budget action films dominated the box office and advancements in CGI gave us the first completely computer-animated feature film, " Toy Story, " which spawned three successful sequels. The decade also saw a wave of memorable comedies ( " Home Alone, " " Austin Powers " ) and romantic movies ( " Ghost, " " Pretty Woman " ). It also gave us " Titanic, " pictured here, which was the highest grossing film of all time until " Avatar " surpassed it in 2009. Using box office numbers, 24/7 Tempo has compiled the biggest box office hits of the 1990s, including examples of all these genres.
