Like with my "Most exciting film of the summer" thread, I will exclude Civil War from the poll so it doesn't run amok. Nothing was even close to it.

So for me that leaves Conjuring 2, Kubo and Ghostbusters. Definitely not what I would have predicted going in to the season. Ghost and Kubo both fade a little towards the end, so I gotta give it to James Wan and The Conjuring 2. It is well crafted and constantly eerie. It's The Shining paced like an action movie. A rare horror sequel that is better than the original, and somehow better equipped to lead an expanded universe than Superman.

Wouldn't the last option also be used for Civil War?

Only Finding Dory got above a B+ for me.

For Summer, I guess Weiner was my favorite. Star Trek Beyond for a studio film.

I'm not going to vote yet as I've only seen 3 on the list. Civil War probably would win this hands down. But right now it's either X-Men: Apocalypse or Blood Father.

Civil War is not a summer release, so that is why it is not on the list.

X-Men Apocalypse.

(It would have been Captain Fantastic if it had a tighter second half.)

So, I just watched Star Trek Beyond and without a doubt it leads the way for me as best film of the summer right now.

Of the ones I've seen, I voted for Kubo.

That is certainly the astronomical definition of the start of summer, but many people consider the summer movie season to start earlier than that.

The first Friday in May starts the Summer movie season and it concludes with Labor Day.

Just do a top five then, you indie hipster!

Including May:

1. Kubo and the Two Strings
2. Captain America: Civil War
3. Pete's Dragon
4. Finding Dory
5. Ghostbusters

Excluding May, bump everything up a spot and add Star Trek Beyond in 5th.

I still need to see a few films, but overall, not a bad summer.

Four stars and above

1. Pete's Dragon
2. Finding Dory
3. Star Trek Beyond
4. Swiss Army Man

A couple of awful films (ID42, Bad Moms), a few mediocre ones (Suicide Squad, Sausage Party, The Secret Life of Pets, Me Before You), quite a few good ones, select very good ones (2-4), and one great one.

In other words, it was a pretty typical summer. The only thing it was lacking was a universal instant classic. If more people had seen it, Pete's Dragon might (should) have been that movie, but hopefully that'll find its audience when it comes out on home video.

I need to see more films, but for now it's easily Civil War no contest.

1. The Nice Guys
2. Civil War
3. Star Trek Beyond
4. Captain Fantastic
5. Bad Moms

Not the best Summer for sure, but I can't say I saw too many films I hated. Just a lot that were "all right, keep the line moving."
