1999. I don't know about summer but it is widely regarded as one of the greatest years for movies ever. I made a post on it a while ago but must have been part of the recent megathread purge.
The Matrix, Fight Club, Magnolia, American Beauty, Being John Malkovich, The Sixth Sense, The Insider, Iron Giant, Green Mile, Blair Witch Project, Office Space, Talented Mr Ripley, Boys Don't Cry, American Pie, Dogma, The Mummy, Boondock Saints, Notting Hill, Thomas Crown Affair, Galaxy Quest, Austin Powers, South Park.
Just a massive list of Oscar winning dramas, sci fi, comedy, romantic, big budget, you name it. And a number of influential movies too.
Not all of them are my favorites but there are some modern classics on that list.
