Summer as it used to be. In summer movies, it’s summer, sure. But it is not only the weather or the season that makes a summer movie. After all, climate change is not the only reason why we often associate summer with nostalgic feelings.
Summer feeling also means a break from everyday life and time for adventure. Particularly at a young age, the summer vacations are a time of transition and change. But also after school, summer is a time of departure, if only for vacation. Trips often bring special experiences and sometimes adventures.
That’s why summer movies are also about a time of departure and adventure. Still, the weather has to be right, of course. Stay tuned for the 15 best summer movies of all time!
“Y Tu Mamá También”, as the original title, a Mexican youth drama by Alfonso Cuarón. This master director was already nominated for an Oscar with “Lust for Life.” Still, he is best known for his Oscar-winning films “Gravity” and “Roma” – and, of course, the dystopian sci-fi drama “Children of Men.”
In “Lust for Life,” two teenage friends, Tenoch (Diego Luna) and Julio (Gael García Bernal), dream up a remote dream beach to persuade attractive Luisa (Maribel Verdú) to take a trip to the sea. Unsurprisingly, she accepts. A charming road trip from Mexico City to the sea, where, after lots of tequila and marijuana, sexual escapades and quarrels, they find a secluded beach.
