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!
Talking of the Côte d’Azur, older generations are more likely to associate the French Mediterranean coast with St. Tropez than with Cannes. The Mediterranean version of “Willkommen bei den Sch’tis” (2008) was so successful in the mid-1960s that it was followed by five sequels until 1982, featuring the choleric gendarme Ludovic Cruchot (Louis de Funes), whose name in the German dubbed version was Balduin.
The first part sees Balduin transferred from a provincial village to the vibrant high-society seaside resort of St. Tropez, where he is immediately meticulous in taking action against offenders and, above all, declares war on the growing culture of the nude. This summer comedy is entirely tailored to the French comedian Louis de Funes.
