Got discussing this a couple months back and I likely side with the 1984ers, but 1992 was spectacularly loaded as well. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 29, 10:31 5
- 97 was rather weak overall imo --- sure, it's got MIB and Air Force 1, but it also has some utter garbage - Will Hunting May 29, 10:34 3
  - Don't forget Face/Off, Conair, and Contact! -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:35 1
    - Well, 1 out of 3 ain't bad. - Will Hunting May 29, 10:43
  - err, put this below DH's --- -- nm - Will Hunting May 29, 10:35
- I have personal fondness for 97, as that was the summer I worked in a theater, but wouldn't actually put that in the discussion for real. -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:33

- It was also the summer of Xanadu! (Max may have a change of heart) -- nm - Roger More May 29, 10:32
1985 for me - Max May 29, 10:28 7

- There were movies that made less than Remo Williams? - the wrong element, bad guy May 29, 10:31
- Many of those weren't summer movies though -- nm - Roger More May 29, 10:30 4
  - I overlooked that. Here's a May-to-August list by date order - Max May 29, 10:35 3
    - A View to a Kill! -- nm - Roger More May 29, 10:38
    - I only saw Goonies and Weird Science on there. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:37
    - 6' 2" with the afro -- nm - oblique May 29, 10:36
Hmmm... you can make a pretty good list from the 1981 summer movies - Roger More May 29, 10:28 1
- I was going to respond with 1989, but then I looked at the box office list and after the big 2 or 3 it wasn't that special actually. -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:31
*blech* -- nm - David, neutral May 29, 10:20 2
- The best part of that list is that it let me know there's new Garfunkel & Oates. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy May 29, 10:34
- How can you "blech" Star Trek 2 and Road Warrior and Poltergeist and Rocky 3? - Beryllium May 29, 10:29
The irony is that ET killed a lot of those films at the box office. - Roger More May 29, 10:16 4
- ET is the only one I saw in the theater of all those. -- nm - Kim Pine May 29, 10:17 3
  - I bought Squadron Supreme #12 (12 issue limited series!) with my ET money (I saw it on a later day) -- nm - Beaker May 29, 10:32
  - I saw Poltergeist and Tron and ET. nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:22 1
    - Those plus Star Trek II, The Thing and Road Warrior -- nm - amoxy May 29, 10:25
I'd take 84 over that list. - Will Hunting May 29, 10:14 3
- My first inclination is to agree with you. Though the inclusion of Purple Rain and Red Dawn hurt your case! ;) -- nm - Don Homer May 29, 10:39
- I was just going to say the exact same thing. -- nm - Kim Pine May 29, 10:15 1
  - yeah, but do you have a mouthfull of triple cheeseburger at the time? nm -- nm - groiny May 29, 10:15
