Movies can take us to moments and just let us feel good, kind of like the summertime. As the summer is winding down to a close, and we have to say goodbye to the lazy days, let’s remember all the fun we had at…
The Water Park:
The Way, Way Back
A shy 14-year-old boy named Duncan (Liam James) has the summer of his life where he learns how to be cool from an immature, cool dude named Owen (Sam Rockwell). This gem from duo Nat Faxon and Jim Rash is worth repeat viewings.
The Amusement Park:
Zombieland
Okay, so maybe getting chased by zombies isn’t the ideal way to spend a summer. But if you’re in the company of Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Woody Harrelson can you really complain?
The Baseball Field:
The Sandlot
The Beast is not necessarily going to attack you if you get a ragtag group together and hit a baseball into James Earl Jones’ yard. This is the time to get your jeans and Converse a little dirty!
The Town Fair:
The Notebook
Nothing says sun-kissed sappiness like this classic tearjerker starring the irresistible duo of Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. When Noah (Gosling) is hanging from the Ferris wheel to confess his love, every girl couldn’t help but fall head over heels.
The Beach:
Blue Crush
These girls could definitely kick your ass. With the endless tides of water threatening to push them off their boards, you’ll be glad you’re that lazy person in the straw hat drinking out of a coconut under an umbrella.
The Tropical Vacation:
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Russell Brand may unfortunately be there, but hey, you’re on vacation, live it up! This is your last hoorah before you have to go back to reality so try your best to make it count!
