On Friday, Erin from the blog Still Life, with Cracker Crumbs… shared her top 10 summer movies. It got me thinking about what mine would be. I also looked at two articles, one from Town and Country Magazine and Pure Wow, to trigger some ideas.
I share two with Erin with Stand By Me and The Parent Trap, sort of, except it’s the 1998 version with Lindsay Lohan. My other eight are, in alphabetical order:
- 500 Days of Summer
- Breaking Away
- Crazy Rich Asians
- Do The Right Thing
- Field of Dreams
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall
- Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
- Moonrise Kingdom
My wife Kim shares five with me, Do The Right Thing, Field of Dreams, Moonrise Kingdom, and Stand By Me. Her other five are: Jaws, A League of Their Own Own, Mystic Pizza, Rear Window, and…one other to be determined, that I’ll add here later. She didn’t want to be pressured into a decision.
Instead of sharing the trailers from all of them, I think I’ll just share one of my favorite parts of Do The Right Thing, which probably is my favorite summer movie:
How about you? What are some of your favorite movies set during the summer?
Still an unfinished person... 
I’ve only seen one from your list! We’ve been watching an old tv series during the last couple of years, but I think we need to stop now and then and watch a movie. I’m writing down Do the Right Thing.

Breaking Away is such a good movie and I haven’t watched it in decades. I wonder if it holds up. And Do the Right Thing? Amazing.
