One of the best parts of summer is cooling off in a movie theater with the A/C so high you wish you wore jeans.
No one’s doing that this 4th of July weekend. *sigh*
I’ll let the cinephiles debate if we’re missing much now. But in 1989, the New York Post asked and answered: “Was 1989 the best summer for movies ever? Yes.”
You had quite the choice of future classics at the Cineplex that holiday when Batman starring Michael Keaton was #1 at the box office, along with:
· Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
· Dead Poets Society
· Star Trek 5: The Final Frontier
· Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing
· Honey, I Shrunk The Kids
· License to Kill with Timothy Dalton in his second (and final) performance as 007
And these films were all released before the 4th.
If you waited until the 5th, you would have been among the first to see Weekend at Bernie’s. Two days later you could catch the opening of Lethal Weapon 2.
I missed out on “Bernie’s.” Guess I’ll just Netflix-and-(literally)chill with it in my air-conditioned living room this year.
