And they used to recognize popular movies, the whole Best Picture being a movie nobody ever saw is a relatively new phenomenon. It didn't often go to the highest grossing movie of the year but you still had Godfather, Platoon, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, Rocky, etc win. Kramer vs. Kramer made $173 million in 79-80s money. Plus they often nominated things like Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc
Well I was 4 when it was released in theatres but it was the fifth-highest grossing film of 1985 with a gross of $87 million, $227.5 million worldwide which is $667m in today's money.

It was like Avatar, everyone claimed yo love it, and no one did.
What in the world is Out of Africa?
Oh yknow, cannibals, rapists, criminals, disease and so forth.
Oh you’re talking about a movie.
A film about a cheetah or something. It's not the Gods Must Be Crazy, that's for certain.
If by that you mean them constantly pushing the boundaries, maybe. Otherwise, I completely disagree.
