Summer Blockbusters That Still Blow Us Away
Opening Line: Big budgets, huge explosions, and unforgettable stars—nothing says summer quite like a blockbuster.
It’s Theme Week Thursday, and we’re diving into the spectacle of Summer Blockbusters—those high-octane, popcorn-fueled flicks designed to dominate the box office and keep theaters cool and packed. From shark-infested waters (Jaws) to superheroes saving the world (The Dark Knight), these films aren't just entertainment—they’re cinematic events.
Studios bet big on these movies, aiming for spectacle and scale, and audiences show up in droves for the ride. Think Independence Day, Jurassic Park, Top Gun: Maverick, or Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Whether it’s a franchise entry or a surprise hit, the summer blockbuster is built to thrill, dazzle, and deliver the kind of moments you want to rewatch immediately.
These movies often shape our summer memories and spark debates: Best action scenes? Most quotable lines? Coolest heroes? That's where you come in.
🎥 Daily Movie Question:
What’s your favorite summer blockbuster of all time—and why does it still hit?
I would agree with John, "Raiders of The Lost Ark." I had the pleasure and pride of working with Richard Anderson, not once but twice, after he won an Oscar for Raiders.
Too many to choose from..I reckon Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
1. Nazis…I hate those guys
2. Guy swishing a sword - gets shot
3. The one liners between Indy and Marion
