Let's hope comedy comes back to the big screen. Podcasts like Tim Dillon are way funnier than any recent movies. Make America Fun Again!

Couldn't agree more! It really feels like the sweet spot for success is to zig while the studios zag and fill the gap you're describing. Fun, genre, kooky comedies in the sub $15M range have the potential to really explode and pay off like gangbusters.

Great research and conjectures here! Horror still reigns as the sweet spot for aspiring filmmakers and writers!

PS- Some adds to your list: GATTACA, Back to the Future, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind, Requiem for a Dream
