The Good Ol' Days
Nothing shows just how bad films have gotten like Cinematical's feature "Our Favorite Summers". They go through some of the best summers of the recent past and it's stunning to see how many classic films came out during one year. Today, we'll be lucky to have one classic and two or three very good films come out in a summer. In 1984, Gremlins and Ghostbusters came out on the same weekend!
Their latest summer is 1980, a year that saw a celluloid heatwave of: Friday the 13th, Fame, The Empire Strikes Back and The Shining (on the same weekend), The Blues Brothers, Airplane!, Dressed to Kill, and Caddyshack. I almost feel bad for the kids nowadays. Most films today struggle to even meet the level of '84's "My Bodyguard".
