Ed TV // Truman Show
Platoon // Full Metal Jacket // Hamburger Hill

And then there was the summer of 2007 with Shrek 3, Spider Man 3, Pirates of the Carribbean 3, Rush Hour 3, Oceans 13 (really Oceans 3), Bourne 3...

And not to be outdone... Die Hard 4 and Harry Potter 5.

Edit: Whoops...

Octopussy was out at the same time... but "Thunderball" is like... a strikingly similar movie to Never Say Never Again.

LotR 3 was NOT released in 2007....where the hell were you in 2003?

And all of the LotR movies were released in Winter (December).

Mission to mars, Red planet.

Iron Man, batman.

Those are the 4 that I can think of now, It is always weird when hollywood declares a theme for the year (I never quite understood that)

The Thirteenth Floor/eXistenZ is a good one. I've seen both too.
