As August comes to a close, so does another summer movie season. While 2014 may not have been as exciting as we anticipate next year or the year after will be, it did not disappoint with hits like GODZILLA, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, and X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. But, if you go back and look, there have been some hugely impactful and memorable movies released in summers gone by.
