Movie Marathon


It is strange that when summer comes and the sun is out for such a long time I think of some great movies i like to watch.


So the other day I decided to make a list.  A list of my favorite summer movies.  Let me be clear by what I mean by this list.  These are the best movies for the summer, NOT blockbuster summer movies (which usually suck).  Now to the List:

10. What About Bob:  A classic summer trip movie and Bill Murray is in a lot of this list.

9. The Endless Summer:  The Surfing movie that when you put it on you never really have to watch, I don't even surf but the idea of going around the world and goofing off at beaches appeals to me.

8. National Lampoon's Vacation:  Come on... come on... Classic

7. Field of Dreams:  Summer and baseball, freshly cut grass, Kevin Costner.  Good stuff, too bad the games at Fenway are always packed.

6. Almost Famous:  I think the kid going around with a Rockband is pretty cool, but if I was to be a part of the movie I wouldn't be the kid, I would be in the band.

5. Jurassic Park:  A little scary, lots of dinosaurs, and Jeff Goldblum... win, win, and win

4. Jaws:  If you are going for a swim with your friends on a summer night it won't be long until someone does the Jaws theme, it just has to happen.

3. Meatballs: 70's summer camp at it's finest.  Drinking, hooking up, and fighting against other camps, I don't think I would want to go anywhere else during the summer.

2. Caddy Shack: This movie will never get old.  It almost makes me want to play golf... almost

1. Wet Hot American Summer:  I hate to have the spoiler up as the picture but this movie is the best summer movie you could ever watch.  Hilarious and strange all in one, in all of my camp experience I always tried to get things to work out closer to this movie.
