Where's Inglourious Basterds? Or is that not a blockbuster?
I like how quickly you get to Up.

None of the big popcorn flicks really interested me this summer except for Harry Potter. Still want to see that. And my girlfriend's son wants to see Up so I'll probably watch that with him. I always enjoy the Pixar movies even though I don't usually go out of my way to see them.

Share, the thread title says Summer Blockbusters; didn't IB get released just after the summer season? I'm too lazy to look :P My fave according to the chart is STAR TREK, and it happens to also be my fav summer movie. Funny chart, kudos to whoever took the time to think it up. |

And, according to the chart...

Great chart. I like Up.
My favorite blockbuster would be Inglourious Basterd if that's considered a blockbuster. If not, then Up and Star Trek. Harry Potter 6 was good too.

Moon would probably be my second favourite "summer" film after Up, though it's not exactly a blockbuster, even if it is sci-fi.

 Moon is my first favorite of the year--not a "blockbuster" by any definition, though.

The only two I've seen on this list was Star Trek and Wolverine. Star Trek was great, while Wolverine was terrible.
I loved IB too, so if that was on the list it would be my number one, while Star Trek would be a close second.

I'm surprised on how accurate the chart is. According to the list, Up. According to me, Up followed by Star Trek.

If it counts Inglourious Basterds.
If not, Star Trek. I never thought I would be a fan of anything Trek related, but I'm definitely pysched for any sequels that are in the works. Last edited by Narc; 11-06-2009 at 10:16 AM. |
