THE MIGHTY QUINN- Despite being a thriller of sorts, the laid back island vibe and beautiful Jamaican locations just puts me in a relaxed summer mood.
SUMMER SCHOOL- Perhaps the ultimate summer flick. Not that much of anything happens, but that's part of the charm.
UNDER THE BOARDWALK- So-Cal beach setting, rival surfer gangs, girls in bikinis, fun parties and I absolutely love Roxana Zal's Gitch character... hot, foul mouthed, bad *** surfer girl.... that's wifey material right there
THRASHIN'- Rival skaters, Venice Beach, Love story, great soundtrack... this movie has it all.
NORTH SHORE- Hawaiian set surf drama with Nia Peeples in various states of undress and lots of Zen surf philosophy.... puts you in a good mood.
SIDE OUT- LA sunshine, bikini babes, beach volleyball and yadda yadda.... love it.
Others.....
Secret Admirer Fast Times at Ridgemont High Weekend at Bernies Can't Buy Me Love Loverboy Nerds in Paradise The Burbs Against All Odds Falling Down Matinee White Men Can't Jump Dazed and Confused
And on and on...

Great list above. Pretty much anything set in summer works for me.
'Summer Rental', 'Vacation', 'Great Outdoors', 'Meatballs' (and any summer camp movies), 'Grease', 'Lucas'... tons of them.
Many Teen movies always seemed to be filmed in summer too (maybe that was the California thing, or maybe it was because they were filmed during summer holidays so High Schools were empty).

Some fun films there, my friend. My favorites of your collection, in order, would have to be Breathless, The Sure Thing, Meatballs, Mischief, Secret Admirer, and Hot Pursuit. The Legend of Billy Jean is a guilty pleasure. Posts: 2008 | From: Dixieland | Registered: Oct 2008 | Site Updates: 0
