To be fair to both now and then, a bunch of the listed movies are crap.
Yentl?
Cannonball Run 2, a garbage cash-in sequel?
An odd number star trek movie, which are all notoriously bad?
Many of them are great also. Not all of them were theatrical hits. The same way that many of these grew in reputation (and some declined like Police Academy and Revenge of the Nerds, because they simply are not funny), there have been many ignored movies the past several years that people will hopefully rediscover in time.

Top 5 Grossing Movies 1984:
1. Ghostbusters
Legendary movie still getting sequels and remakes today.
2. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Bad sequel in a legendary franchise still getting sequels today
3. Gremlins
Cult classic that apparently has a reboot in the works
4. The Karate Kid
Sequels, remakes, spin-off TV shows, this thing has never run out of gas.
5. Police Academy
Top 5 Grossing Movies 2021:
1. Spiderman: No Way Home
A remake of a remade remake.
2. Shang Chi
Mostly forgettable Marvel fodder
3. Venom: Let Their Be Carnage
Mostly Forgettable Marvel fodder
4. Black Widow
Mostly forgettable Marvel fodder
5. F9: The Fast Saga
The ninth installment in a series that's as repetitive as a cuckoo clock.
4 Marvel movies and a ninth sequel versus 2 legendary franchise starters, a cult favorite and a classic comedy that spawned numerous sequels. I knew the drop was bad, but man.
