— December 21, 2007 Leave a Comment
After doing the top 10 Summer movies of 2007, I decided to put together a list of the top 10 11 Summer movies of 2008, even earlier this time around. I suspected it would be good, but once I had it, man was I surprised! Next summer is going to be great! So without further ado, here are the top 10 11 Summer movies of 2008. FYI, the list is in chronological order, not in order of importance. All of these movies are scheduled to be shown between May and July of 2008. I would have included movies shown in August, but unfortunately, it looks like they will run out before then.
