And what? What is the “contrast”? What are the top box office films of the last decade we are to compare the 50s with.

You think the 50s list by itself explains (in our heads?) the “contrast”?

I may agree many of the 50s films were better in my opinion (my age may have something to do with it), but I see nothing describing the “contrast”.

I'm contrasting the box office popularity of the Best Picture winners of the 1950's with those films which won the same award over the last 10 years, as discussed in my previous post.

Not a single Best Picture winner of the last ten years was in the top 10 box office of that year. 8 out of 10 in the Fifties were.

Hence the contrast.
