'Casino' and 'Pirates' make UK's top 10
Casino Royale and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest have made the list of the top 10 highest grossing films at the UK box office ever.

New figures released by the UK Film Council show the latest Bond outing is the most commercially successful 007 movie ever and, taking £55 million, is the sixth most popular film of all time in the UK.

The second Pirates movie, meanwhile, took £52 million putting it eighth in the chart.

Their success comes as revenues in the UK overall in 2006 were one per cent down on 2005. The council blamed the World Cup and record-high temperatures.

The top 10 most popular UK films of all time:

1. Titanic (1998)
2. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
3. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)
4. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
5. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)
6. Casino Royale (2006)
7. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
8. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)
9. The Full Monty (1997)
10. Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace (1999)
