Seems to be caused by the author's somewhat arbitrary selection of films from those recent years. Many are neither Best Picture winners, nor Oscar bait, nor even top grossing movies. Using Rotten Tomatoes' Top Movies seems to be a choice fraught with issues; what does most popular even mean for them, based on the user-submitted audience scores for that site? Why RT and not IMDB? Why not just use top grossing for everything?
Yes, the MCU-ification of everything is not great, but if one was to complain about popcorn blockbusters, that's a trend that's existed since Jaws/Star Wars, and there were far worse fare from the '80s-'00s.

- mewse-hn 4y agoYeah, I was confused by the criteria to be included in the list. I focused on the inclusion of 1989's Glory (which is a fine movie) to try and figure it out, Glory isn't in the top 10 grossing movies for that year. I tried to navigate rotten tomatoes to see what it thinks the top films are for 1989 but couldn't figure out how to set up a filter. Maybe if I create an account I could do it, but not interested enough to pursue further.
