How do you know those movies are highest grossing because they're cool?

    They are highest grossing because they sold the most tickets.

    Uncool movies don't sell the most seats.

    It's literally a popularity contest. And popularity contests are always given to the coolest.

    You answered the question by saying 'because it is'.

    No, its not.

    Yes, 'cool' is subjective.

    Popular and cool are not the same thing.

    Many of the movies with a cult following now were basically commercial disappointments or even failures.

    Art doesn't exist purely to make money.

    That's 'content' you're thinking of.

    Can we find the most romantic movies using this 'highest grossing' trick?

    It's right there on the list. Y2k women wanted Mel Gibson. Again, before everyone knew he was a nutter. And apparently despite Lethal Weapon 4 when he was clearly too old for this shit.
