This is an excellent point. For example, here [1] is a list of all films released in 2025. However I bet most people 10 years from now will only remember the top 10-20 [2].

- whilenot-dev 11mo agoThe point wasn't merely about remembering something, the raised survivorship bias is moment in time when something becomes a cult classic[0]. Box office numbers don't matter much there, as these cult classics all bombed at the office: - Blade Runner (1982) - Brazil (1985) - Donnie Darko (2001) - Fight Club (1999) - The Shawshank Redemption (1994) - The Thing (1982) The question should be wether we can still create the same kind of cults like we did in the 90s.
