We want the most participation out of MC for the lists to be valuable. That’s not to say a critically acclaimed NON blockbuster can’t be on the list. Example: Moon (2009).
Personally, I can't think of anything less interesting to get from MatchCut than a consensus opinion on uber-mainstream films where the consensus is a given. Gee, I wonder if the majority of MC likes Star Wars, Jaws or [insert IMdB top 250 film here]. I don't see what could possibly be gained aside from clutter since we all know what the final results will be. Now, if there were a different focus every month or quarter like "cult films", "silent horror films", "female-directed arthouse fare" (you know, use it to encourage people to seek out new films rather than rate the same films they've been rating since they were 13), then maybe we'd get some interesting discoveries and results in the end.
