The summer blockbuster was born with Jaws in 1975, and for the next 25 years Hollywood delivered some of the greatest movie seasons ever. But which summers truly stand above the rest?
In this episode, the World Class Bullshitters rank every summer movie season from 1975 through 2000, assigning each year to a tier based on its biggest films, cultural impact, and overall lineup. Once the tiers are set, we rank only the elite S-Tier summers before debating which blockbuster is the greatest of them all.
Did the '80s dominate? Were the '90s deeper? Which summers deserve legendary status? Join us as we settle the debate.
This is Part 1 of our two-part Summer Movie Season Ranking series. Part 2 will cover 2001–2026 and complete the rankings.
