This week, we mark the beginning of summer by diving into our Top 25 Summer Blockbusters. Whether it was the release of Jaws in 1975 or Star Wars in 1977, there's no denying that these two iconic films with their big budgets, significant returns, marketing, and merchandising started it all for what we've come to know as the "summer blockbuster." Since then, we've seen some of the top-grossing movies of all time follow this seasonal release schedule and moviegoers coming out in droves to watch them. What makes the list of our favorite summer blockbusters? Listen and find out!
