Quoted from blue95:Anything based on a current movie of the time, that didn't become a classic like say, T2 did.
Congo
Johnny Mnemonic
Twister
Demolition Man
Flintstones (should have been the cartoon)
Waterworld
etc
I don't think they were looking to choose movies that would be popular 15 years after the pin was released. The idea was to tie into the summer or particular season that the film came out. All of those films you have listed had large budgets and large marketing campaigns.
