Coming Soon: The Summer Movies of the 1980s

Inspired by a RetroJunk article series about The Summer Movies of the 1990's, I'd figure I should do a similar series, this time focusing on The Summer Movies of the 1980's. I choose the 1980's because after seeing so many 80's summer blockbusters, I began to believe that the 80's is the golden age for summer blockbusters.

Now keep in mind, this series might be hard for me to do as I have to see a lot of movies, do research on the movie's history and subject matter, and come up with my own opinions on them. Plus, real life often gets in the way, so it might take a long time to finish every entry in the series. And last but not least, I'm gonna be focusing on the movies I saw. If there are movies you are expecting to be in this series and is not there, it will indicate that I never saw them but I will review them on it's own and there will be no updates on the series. Re reviews on some of the movies might be necessary if I feel like reviewing them in depth.

Probably starting on either Christmas break or early 2018, I'm going to start the series with The Summer Movies of 1980. That summer had Luke Skywalker learning that Darth Vader is his father, The Blue Brothers making their first movie, and Bill Murray chasing a gopher in a golf course. The Summer of 1980 had it all.
