Some movies are watched every year during the holidays, others on special occasions. I propose this: what movies do you watch during the summer?
I have three traditions that I love and some others I try to watch over the course of the long, heat filled, days of summer. First up is Roger Corman’s 1970’s cult classic Piranha. I love watching it around the time the pool opens for the season. It’s almost May now, so that one will be going in soon.
Next up is June 6, my Grandmother’s birthday. In the years since her passing I watch Cinderella Man. I took her to see it when the movie was released in theaters. On the drive home she reminisced about the events in the film. Not the plot but the actual events that the film was based on. She brought my grandfather home to meet the family and he bonded with her Dad listening to the boxing matches that the film portrayed.
My third summer time tradition is watching Mad Max: Fury Road around the summer equinox. I’m not sure how this came about, but it did, and I enjoy it.
Other films I try to watch over the summer months are blockbusters The Day After Tomorrow and Gravity. Always fun to revisit these movies during the heat of summer. Both feature a lot of cold.
Anyways, as I look forward to the upcoming start of the summer movie season, what movies do you rewatch during the summer?
