IMO, I am wondering if you are saying that 1975 year, as you will say that Jaws in 1975 started the trend, but hate to tell everyone The Exorcist was as big and 2 years earlier...and both had the same scary the shit out of the audience! With crowds lined up around the block, aka a blockbuster.
PS. I wish you would change it to 1970, to get in some worthy films like The Exorcist, The Sting and The Godfather, even if you have to change it to the 105 best blockbusters. IMO.
On Jaws, is 260 an actual number, as 260 is so rounded off? WHY?
