5 summer blockbuster movies of the 1990s: Summer is never complete without that special flick that will have everyone talking for the best months of the year. There are just too many summer blockbusters to list but these truly deserve the recognition of hot films to close out the previous century.
Terminator 2 - Released on July 3, 1991 and a winner of four Oscars. No one can forget when Arnold Schwarzenegger said: "Hasta la vista, baby!"
Independence Day - This Oscar-winning hit starred African-American Will Smith. The movie reminded the Earth could be vulnerable to an alien attack. Released July 3, 1996.

Speed - On June 10, 1994, one would never have believed that one could live through, let alone enjoy, a movie where the majority of scenes were concentrated on a bus and train. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock starred in this action masterpiece that bagged two Oscars.
The Sixth Sense - Released August 6, 1999. Probably the best movie to cap off the penultimate summer of the millennium. Who would have thought that Bruce Willis was ...?
Jurassic Park - This epic adventure/action released in June 11, 1993 was one of Steven Spielberg's best and surely reminded us why dinosaurs wouldn't fit in today's society.
