40 BEST MOVIES TO WATCH OVER SUMMER VACATION

Posted by Michelle Boudin





Movie watching is often as big a part of summer vacation as swimming pools and
ice cream cones. They can be the perfect escape on a rainy day or an easy way to
keep kids occupied on the long car ride to your weeklong getaway. But after most
of us spent so many months cooped up in front of the TV and with few movies
released in the theatres, you may feel like the pickings are slim. Don't worry!
We've got you covered with plenty of movies to see on summer vacation — a mix of
classics, kid-friendly flicks and new releases.


CLASSICS AND RECENT FAVORITES

1. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - The ultimate feel-good movie about the special
bond between a boy, an out of this world creature and the family that loves them
both is perfect for the whole family. 

2. My Girl - A tween girl finds that her life is turning upside down when she
suddenly makes a new friend. Their friendship provides fun and the stability she
needs for this season of life. This movie has funny and heartbreaking moments
you won't forget. 

3. Mamma Mia - This is a story of a bride-to-be looking for her real father in
the stunning landscape of a Greek island. With a soundtrack of the sing along
songs of ABBA, this movie may inspire you to plan a trip to Europe. 

4. Star Wars - There's a reason the sci-fi phenomenon has inspired many movies
and TV shows. Go back to where it all started with the original trilogy and
watch Luke and Darth Vader face off in a father son story like no other. 

5. Splash - This movie has a "real live" mermaid in Manhattan and Tom Hanks as
he was just becoming the actor that we all love. 

6. Footloose - The movie that launched Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon got a whole
town dancing and will have you cheering. 

7. Indiana Jones - Still one of the best movie franchises of all time. Start
with Raiders of the Lost Ark and join the hero archaeologist on his adventures
through all four films. Watch for a new Indiana Jones movie in 2023! 

8. Grease - Grease is the word! Don't be surprised if you still know the words
to one of the best-selling movie soundtracks of all time. 

9. The Goonies - A treasure map sends this group of close-knit teens on the
adventure of a lifetime. No parents allowed.  

10. Beaches - Every summer needs a good tearjerker — especially one that takes
place at the beach. This story of a lasting friendship will get you every time.
(If you loved Firefly Lane on Netflix, you'll love Beaches.) 

11. The Parent Trap (1961 & 1998) - Twin sisters separated when their parents
divorceSeparated during their parents' divorce, twins discover each other when
they both attend the same summer camp. Chaos ensues. Both the original Disney
movie and 90's version starring Lindsay Lohan are classics. 

12. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants - This coming-of-age story is about
four high school friends who stay in touch over summer break by sharing one
"magical" pair of jeans. 

13. Freaky Friday - Mom and daughter switch bodies and learn to love and
appreciate each other more in the process in this Disney movie that was so much
fun they did a remake. 

14. Karate Kid - One of the best movies of the 80s is the ultimate summer
classic with karate battles, romance and striking Pacific Ocean scenery
(remember Mr. Miyagi doing the crane at the beach?)

Thank you for making my life so much easier! For years, I've been Room Mom,
Cheer Mom, Scout Mom, etc. and juggled working and trying to organize and keep
up with all the activities associated with having a social little girl. I
managed, but it wasn't until finding your site that I was able to organize some
rather complicated "going-ons" with virtually no effort at all. Thanks so much
for such a great site!
