I’d drop Mad Max and Anchorman off the list and add something from Pixar (Toy Story, Finding, Monsters) and either the Lion King or one of the Shreks on there.

If just live action, then Wonder Woman, one of the Fast and the Furious movies, one of the Harry Potter movies, or a Mission Impossible movie.

Not a bad list though even if the order is debatable. If you were putting together a list of 25 must watch summer blockbusters, at least 18-20 of those would be on the list.

Harry Potter movies


I always found it odd they went from releasing in November and then swapping July and November back and forth. I would think they would of owned the holidays if they kept it at November for all of them.

I didn't look to see but the ones they did July on, was it due to another big blockbuster coming out for Christmas?

Way to go Anchorman!
Is that the only true comedy on the list?

The potter movies were:

11/01
11/02
6/04
11/05
7/07
7/09
11/10
7/11

The first two were filmed pretty closing together but the rest were on a 18 month production schedule until the last two were filmed together. Can’t remember why there was a delay between 5 and 6.

Mad Max and anchorman do not belong in this list. There’s nothing blockbuster about them.

Last few fast and furious movies should be on there.

This is fine with me. I'd move Batman 1989 up to #6 though.
