The words "just OK" more or less sum up this season's summer movies so far, and a recent AP story confirms it, reporting that box office is down again this year. The slump has caused me to think up another list, this time of the best summer movies of the last 30 years, assuming that the "summer movie" was born in 1975 with Jaws. My list would include Jaws, certain of the Star Wars films, all three Indiana Jones films, Aliens, Robocop, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Unforgiven, Speed, Face/Off, A.I. Artificial Intelligence, Pirates of the Caribbean and Spider-Man 2. Conclusions? That recent films aren't as bad as they seem and that Spielberg is still the Summer Movie king.
