Award shows focus on artistic merit, but ratings for these shows have been sliding for years in part because people feel their favorite movies get snubbed. Thought I'd do a popular movie poll to see among the highest grossing movies which people preferred.

I can only do ten options for those wondering why Logan and Fast and Furious 8 were not included.



Why is Dunkirk not an option? It's better than a lot of those and grosses more than some of them.



From this list, I've seen: Star Wars, Beauty and the Beast, Jumanji, Guardians and Spiderman. The only ones I truly enjoyed were Jumanji and Spiderman. I voted for Jumanji but it was a toss up between it and Spiderman.



Signature goes here!

I could only do top ten, Dunkirk is 14th from source I found as linked in OP.

14 Dunkirk WB $188,045,546 4,014 $50,513,488 3,720 7/21 11/23

Only seen IT, so that. It was good though.



I voted Wonder Woman, but it was very close between that and Thor Ragnarok.



I liked Guardians, but on subsequent viewings Homecoming edged it out. What can i say, Keaton is one of my favorite actors (Multiplicity would have been a dream roll)



Out of those, It is the only one that would rank among my favorites of the year. Most of the rest are scattered lower in that Top 100.



Haven't seen Star Wars or Jumanji.

Overall, the list is pretty meh to be honest.

I voted Beauty and Beast because I can see myself rewatching that more than any of the others.
