We are talking about broad, industry changing films. Not just films that inspired more films of a similar genre or plot. With the exception of Raiders and 300 (the most reaching of all our choices, IMO), I think the others had wide ranging impact on the entire business and/or art of filmmaking.Cody Dee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458761978126341402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323679.post-4052650561424498612008-03-12T06:57:00.000-04:002008-03-12T06:57:00.000-04:00OK, 5 more...Fast Times At Ridgemont High - The Mo...OK, 5 more...<BR/><BR/>Fast Times At Ridgemont High - The Modern Teen Movie. Without it, there would be no John Hughes, no Bill & Ted, no Clueless, no American Pie, no Mean Girls, etc., etc., etc<BR/><BR/>Pretty Woman - The Julia Roberts Movie. The woman is her own genre. Smiling JR + some sassy remarks = $. <BR/><BR/>When Harry Met Sally - Still sets the standard for romantic comedies. In nearly 20 years, it's never been topped (usually because, unlike WHMS, they forget to give the leading man any personality)<BR/><BR/>Carrie - Spawner of 2 genres - The Stephen King movie, and the Teen Slasher Flick. <BR/><BR/>The Silence of the Lambs - A million lame serial killer movies.Captain Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313129816645199581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323679.post-23317704612549877972008-03-12T05:53:00.000-04:002008-03-12T05:53:00.000-04:00Jurassic Park didn't invent the summer blockbuster...Jurassic Park didn't invent the summer blockbuster, but it was the first time the general public started looking at weekend grosses. <BR/><BR/>My own additions to the list: <BR/><BR/>Animal House - R-rated comedies aimed at an audience that can't legally purchase a ticket, and pretty much any movie starring an SNL player<BR/><BR/>The Little Mermaid - The Disney Animated musical extravaganza that Enchanted now mocks<BR/><BR/>Terms of Endearment - a million chick flicks where someone dies of a terminal illness<BR/><BR/>There's Something About Mary - Name me one movie released before 1998 with a cum joke, sight gag or otherwise<BR/><BR/>Saving Private Ryan - Every hyper-violent war movie of the last decadeCaptain Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06313129816645199581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323679.post-14065377864414452242008-03-12T00:06:00.000-04:002008-03-12T00:06:00.000-04:00Disagree.

If we (and, yes, that is the royal 'we') are using the term "Summer Blockbuster" in it's current vernacular - JP set the present day standard.Cody Dee Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458761978126341402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21323679.post-25221579790951054112008-03-11T23:20:00.000-04:002008-03-11T23:20:00.000-04:00Actually it was another Speilberg film that create...Actually it was another Speilberg film that created the summer blockbuster.<BR/><BR/>That movie be Jaws.Speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113498095365357490noreply@blogger.com
