The Movies of Summer 1990
I don't know about you, reader, but as winter continues to drag on and the temperature hovers around the single digits to below zero for days on end, my thoughts tend to ten to warmer weather and thoughts of spring and summer. And when I start thinking about summer, I can't help but think of summer movies, since I'm a film critic for a blog, and I think about what I can anticipate and (hopefully) enjoy. The movies were always a big part of my summer vacations growing up as a kid. Oh, I went outside plenty and played during my three months or so off, but I also remember heavily anticipating the new summer movies, and getting excited once the promotions kicked in. With this article, I thought I would look back at the big summer movies I saw in 1990, the start of the first full decade that I was a film fan. If this should prove popular, I will probably do articles on 91 to 99, if people here are interested. I turned 13 years old in the summer of 1990, and I remember seeing most of the major ones. There are even a few R-rated films on this list, that I got to see either with one of my older brothers, or by sneaking in the theater with my best friend after we bought a ticket to a different movie. (Yes, I confess, I was a naughty boy.) This article will reflect on what I thought about the films back then, and my thoughts on them now, as I have recently re-watched all of these films for the sake of this article. And so, without further delay, let's enjoy some big budget summer films filled with special effects, violence, killer spiders, and even puppies and kittens going on adventures narrated by Dudley Moore! The summer movies of 1990 had it all!
