2008

TDK, Wall E, Iron Man, Tropic Thunder, Stepbrothers, Hellboy 2, Pineapple Express, Speed Racer, The Strangers, a new Indiana Jones (yeah it was bad but still the anticipation was obviously insane for the first one after nearly 20 years), Kung Fu Panda, Wanted, the Incredible Hulk, Mamma Mia

A lot of fantastic films across all genres and something for everyone

I remember sneaking Quiznos Subs and Arizona Ice Tea cans into the theatre for a double feature of Wanted and Pineapple Express.

It was so hard choosing between this one and 2002. This Summer season was fantastic, I’m one of the 10 people that even enjoyed Indiana Jones. But to get all these great movies and then the event that was The Dark Knight was just incredible.

2008 is clearly the answer. The Dark Knight hype trumps anything besides Phantom Menace which came out before your timeline.

I still gotta go wit the Summer of 2002, but I’m fine with 2008 being the consensus.

Although I did want to say that I would argue the hype for Spider-Man in 2002 was just as big as it was for The Dark Knight.
