Guess the Movie from one Frame - the "popular movies" series #11 - movies from the last 50 years!

Welcome back to another "popular movie" frame challenge!
There seems to be a little confusion here about what we're calling "popular" movies, so let's drill down into the narrative a bit. For the purposes of this video series, I have gone through the box office numbers for the last 40 years. For each of those years, I pulled the top 20 films. I don't think one could really argue that the highest grossing movies of the year weren't popular amongst at least some subset of the general population. That doesn't mean they're good movies. That doesn't mean they're memorable movies. It means that a lot of people paid good money to go see them.
That's why largely forgettable movies like "We're the Millers" and "Get Smart" make the cut. It's a simple numbers game. I am not the arbiter of what was popular. So yeah, there's a lot of cartoons, there's a lot of comic-book movies - my most sincere apologies to Mr. Scorsese.
So anyways, after compiling that list of the top grossing films, I went back and did another pass - trying to find the movies that had second lives in home video or other secondary markets. Because there are movies out there that are truly beloved but didn't make a DIME. Want to talk about "The Shawshank Redemption?" On the box-office list for the year it was released, it came in at #95. NINETY-FIVE. It got outgrossed by a Pauly Shore movie. So in that sense, I did exercise a little content control - I couldn't feel good knowing that there were some really excellent movies that have become truly popular that were being overlooked for some honest-to-god schlock...
So that's where the list of movies came from. I'd say it's 90 percent box-office numbers with 10 percent where I make executive decisions. If you have a problem with that, I don't know what I can tell you.
So the game is pretty straightforward - I show you a frame, you have around eight seconds before the title is revealed. You know the drill. I'm sure you'll know most of these, right?
Anyways, I hope you have fun with these, please subscribe for more, sorry if the ads are annoying, and leave your score in the comments. If you have criticism, please feel free to put that in a comment as well. I read 'em. I don't always agree with 'em, but I read 'em!

A solid 27 for me - makes me want to go back and re-watch some of the classics.

I only got 16. I need to watch more movies 😅😂

a second half revival bought me 18/40, and I can almost hear Shatner bellowing KHAAAAAAN!!!! Also, the frame from Blade Runner looks like a painting.

No kidding on that Blade Runner shot. I had to check to see if it was the same cinematographer that did Barry Lyndon (it wasn't).
