Everyone’s list of favorite summer movies seems to include the obvious – summer camp favorites like Wet Hot American Summer, or surf classic The Endless Summer, or even romance (500) Days of Summer.
To compile our list of summer movies, we stuck to the rule that they have to have “summer” in the title, but otherwise, we tried to stray from the beaten path, to find summer movies you may have overlooked or never seen. Here, then, is a “summer” film festival.
Curl up, watch these classics, and enjoy an air-conditioned respite from the actual summer.
