Breast cancer

Ever since Angelina Jolie elected to have a double mastectomy instead of facing an 87 percent&nbsp;risk of developing breast cancer, the topic of cancer awareness was once again front and center in the public eye. Far from being the first to act against the disease, Jolie joins an impressive roster of women who have fought back against breast cancer and won.

While there are other famous people who have died from&nbsp;breast cancer, these women have undergone radiation treatment, chemotherapy, and single and double mastectomies to triumph over disease. This list of notable breast cancer survivors is here to serve as an inspiration and warning for other women concerned with breast cancer.

As one of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/50-most-common-causes-of-death/info-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">leading causes of death</a> in men and women, cancer is something celebrities like Angelina Jolie are encouraging people to be vigilant about in their health assessments. This list of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-had-breast-reduction-surgery/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword" target="_blank">famous breast</a> cancer survivors is a testament to treatment and preventative checks saving lives.

Film Trivia

Records are made to be broken, and box-office records are no exception. Since movies emerged as a major moneymaking venture, the eyes of studios and producers have been on the all-time charts, and in that time, the title of highest-grossing movie of all time has changed hands a number of times. The current record-holder - at least on the all-time U.S. domestic list - is the seventh installment of the&nbsp;Star Wars franchise,&nbsp;The Force Awakens.But it had to face stiff competition on its way to the top, passing former record-holders such as&nbsp;Titanic and&nbsp;Avatar, while holding off subsequent challengers including MCU juggernauts&nbsp;Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: No Way Home, and&nbsp;Black Panther. It should come as no surprise at this point that the all-time box-office list includes a large number of entries from some of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-highest-grossing-movie-franchises-of-all-time/robert-wabash">biggest movie franchises</a> ever.Are these the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time">best movies of all time</a>? Not necessarily - although some could make that case, at least if your votes have anything to do with it. And let’s not forget that, adjusted for inflation, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/chart/top_lifetime_gross_adjusted/?adjust_gross_to=2019">the list looks significantly different</a>, with 1939’s&nbsp;Gone with the Wind still holding that top spot, and the original&nbsp;Star Wars holding steady in second place.In recent years, legacy sequel Top Gun: Maverick has charged toward the all-time top 10, while family movies from Disney and Pixar continue to place high on the charts as well. This list will keep changing, but one thing’s for certain: Someday - maybe soon, maybe not - there will be a new all-time box-office champ.Last update: July 18, 2022

What was it that the band Semisonic said? Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end? Well, it may be true but it's not fair! This list of the best TV series finales makes note of the end of some of my all-time favorite shows. I will say this, though: some of the best TV shows did not have the best series finales. You'll see some of that reflected in my  rankings of these series finales.

The greatest comedy movies of all time are also some of the best movies ever, but with more laughs. Some of my favorite comedy movies are full of cheap laughs while others are fine masterpieces of comedy. I would name them, but frankly, everybody's going to have different opinions about what's toilet humor and what's comedic genius. These are my top comedy films, at any rate, and I'm laughing just thinking about them.

I picked 30 of the most overrated movies of all time based on, well, mostly that I hated these movies the rest of the movie-going public was just in love with. It's not to say some of them don't really speak to people, but there are some movies on this list (Vanilla Sky, Mulholland Drive) that I just don't get that other people seem to think are the best movies ever. As far as I'm concerned, these are 30 "great" movies that suck. Enjoy (or don't enjoy), these overrated movies.

All the best movie franchises in one convenient list. When you think about the fact that these franchises produced dozens of the best movies of all time, it becomes a pretty awesome list to look at. I know that Star Wars is a controversial pick for number one (considering Episodes 1-3 were garbage), but I'm choosing to consider the good movies in my choices and ignore the lesser entries into the series (X-Men, Batman).

Mojo magazine's annual albums of the year list always turns me on to new music. I love Mojo because they bridge the gap between timeless rock and cool new stuff. They manage to turn me on to new music discoveries without being snobs. There are some other UK rock mags that I like as well, particularly Uncut, but ever since Mojo magazine came out in the mid 90s I have been hooked and read every issue the day it arrives in my mailbox. Long live Mojo and may the internet not take you down! <a href="http://www.mojo4music.com" rel="nofollow"> www.mojo4music.com </a>
