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!

Naïma (Mina Farid) has just turned 16 and lives in posh Cannes with her mother in modest circumstances. School is behind her, and life is ahead of her. In between is a hot, endless summer. Naïma’s cousin Sofia (Zahia Dehar), six years her senior, comes to visit her from Paris.
Sofia, a lover of luxury who shamelessly indulges herself with spendthrift men, takes the inexperienced Naïma under her wing. As Sofia picks up a yacht owner and plans a luxurious trip with him and his friend, the naïve Naïma is also onboard – without suspecting what else is in store for her on the boat trip.
Director and screenwriter Rebecca Zlotowski skillfully play with gender-specific clichés and the audience’s expectations in her relaxed summer film. She can count on a great cast and the Côte d’Azur as a beautiful backdrop.
