    Just like with movie awards. The ones that win awards are usually snoozefests. Artistic, sure, but zero rewatchability. Meanwhile the goofy comedy that becomes a cult classic and remains relevant for decades gets snubbed and ignored.

      Yep. Cannes, Berlinale, etc. All movies that would not exist without 80% external funding, because they are only shown in small cinemas as part of the Sunday matinee. And most of them have not much more story than “Watch Paint Dry” (an actual movie of 8 or 10 hours length).
