Time Out New York lists the 30 best summer blockbusters ever.
I guess I can’t speak for the movies before, say, 1990 since an essential part of experiencing a summer blockbuster is watching it in the theater that summer. Only three of the top-10 were released after 1990. Here are some quick gripes: Independence Day should be in the top-15. (ID4 is the last one in, really?!) And The Dark Knight should be in the top-10.
