Summer Movie List - Early Edition

Posted by ErnieMcCraken


With the weather changing for most of us, I thought it was the appropriate time to discuss a summer movie list. Over the last few days, I've scoured archived posts for recommendations. I've had a personal growing list that's been added to over the years. If you have any additions, feel free to add them in the comments. The Burbs Summer School Side Out Stand By Me One Crazy Summer American Pie 2 Point Break The Long Hot Summer Jaws Sandlot Meatballs The Great Outdoors Summer Rental National Lampoon's Vacation Adventureland Heavyweights Caddy Shack

solid list, can’t believe you included "The Burbs" and "Meatballs"—those are classics. another one I'd throw in there is "The Way Way Back," it’s perfect summer vibes.

I normally throw on Major League just as MLB regular season is about to start. Heat is among my top 15 movies. I never really considered it a summer movie, however.

Heavyweights is all you need tbh. I associate summer movies less with the literal summer and more with big tentpole movies, so I feel like my list wouldn’t be as fun 😅
