Nerve Endings Firing Away

If you made a top-20 grossing movie in the 2000s [via Kottke], it either was an animation, action heroes, or fantasy/scifi movie. It holds true if you go down till #33. Other genres with the exception of Lord of the Rings and Dark Knight (or rather Heath Ledger did) won awards. What the public wants and what the critics like can be so different. On other thoughts, you can imagine how rich J.K. Rowling and Peter Jackson are and how much we love our pirates and action heroes.

I wonder how does the list for Indian movies look like. At least it won’t have a wedding movie with 14 songs at the top this decade.
