The Movies of Summer - 1992

Welcome back! I continue my look back at summer movies of the past with this look at the summer of 1992. This is mainly remembered as the summer of the Barcelona Olympics. However, this was the year that Batman returned, people who never watched MTV learned who Pauly Shore was, and Tom Hanks taught us that there was no crying in Baseball. For me personally, the summer of 92 was kind of a life-changing one, and not exactly in a happy way. This was the summer that my mom and dad divorced, not only dividing my family, but also putting me in a tight spot emotionally. I was about a month away from turning 15 when I found out. It was already a confusing time for me, and then I had this dropped on me. The other major event to happen was that I had finished middle school that year, would be starting high school in the fall, and was hoping that things would go better for me than it did back in middle school. (Spoiler alert: It didn't, at least not at first.) So, with all that crap hitting me hard personally, I naturally looked for a lot of ways to escape or be out of the house that summer. Naturally, movies provided the perfect answer. Saw quite a few of them that summer, so let's stop wasting time, and look at some of the blockbusters (and wannabe blockbusters) of 1992.
