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!
Return to the 21st century, production-wise at least. For in terms of content, this Summer Movie is also a nostalgic trip back to the 80s. Back in 2001, the parody of typical 80s teen sex comedies like “Popsicle,” “Porky’s”, or “I Think I’m Standing in the Woods” was quite a flop in theaters.
However, it became a cult film over the years, featuring many now-famous faces from film and television, including, for instance, Bradley Cooper (“A Star is Born”) in his first role, Paul Rudd (“Ant-Man”), Christopher Meloni (“Happy”) and Elizabeth Banks (“Pitch Perfect”). The action takes place on the last day at a summer camp in 1981.
Netflix has made two eight-part miniseries out of the iconic comedy: The prequel series is set on the first day of summer camp (i.e., before the movie), and the sequel series is set ten years after. In both series, most of the cast from the feature film are back.
