35 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 much of her life is turning upside down
     when she suddenly makes a new friend. The fun and friendship she
     experiences provide the needed stability for this season of life. It’s a
     funny movie with a tearjerker ending that ends on a positive note.
 3.  Mamma Mia - Set on a Greek island and featuring the stunning landscape and
     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 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
     2022!
 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
     divorced 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?)

KID AND FAMILY FAVORITES

 1. Finding Nemo (and Finding Dory) - The movie about everyone’s favorite
    clownfish became an instant classic and spawned a beloved sequel in Finding
    Dory.
 2. 101 Dalmatians - Watch the original so you can also enjoy Cruella — out now.
 3. Cool Runnings - What better way to cool off then to watch Disney's take on
    the delightfully true story of the Jamaican bobsled team. Watch it before or
    during the Olympics to really get in the spirit.
 4. Wonder - Born with facial deformities, Auggie is heading to a mainstream
    school for the first time and becomes an unlikely hero. This sweet movie
    will have you cheering on his journey.
 5. Because of Winn Dixie - This film features a stellar cast and a heartwarming
    story about a girl saved from loneliness in her new town thanks to a dog she
    names Winn Dixie.


 1. Moana - An adventurous teen sets out on the sail of a lifetime to help save
    her people.
 2. The Sandlot - This cult classic takes place in the Summer of ’62 and tells
    the story of the new kid in town and how he makes friends thanks to a pickup
    baseball game. (Also check out Field of Dreams, The Natural and The Rookie
    to get your fill of the boys of summer.)
 3. Free Willy - A boy forms an unlikely friendship with an orca whale and sets
    out to free him from captivity.
 4. Harry Potter (8 movies) - Re-watching these movies could take all summer and
    remind you of the magic and wizardry you loved when first reading the books
 5. We Bought a Zoo - Loosely based on a true story, you’ll fall in love with
    this family who literally bought a zoo and fixed it to get it ready to
    re-open to the public.
 6. Toy Story (1-4) - No matter how old you are this series of movies features
    talking toys that will make you laugh and tug at your heartstrings
 7. Remember the Titans - This high school football movie about the integration
    of an all-Black school in the early ’70s is particularly relevant now and
    will give you a history lesson — and all the feels.

Celebrate summer with a backyard BBQ and movie night. Organize a potluck and
request RSVPs with an online sign up. View an Example


NEW THIS SUMMER - 2021

 1. In the Heights - From the creator of Hamilton, this musical set in the
    Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City is getting rave reviews.
 2. A Quiet Place Part II - The original was about as scary as it gets and this
    latest installment picks up where the first one left off: a family is on the
    run from alien creatures that hunt by sound.
 3. F9 The Fast Saga (Fast and Furious) - If you liked the first 8 movies,
    you’ll probably like the latest in one of the longest-running franchises
    around centering on fast cars and the good (and bad) guys and girls that
    drive them.
 4. Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway - Funny for kids and adults, this second
    installment is also based on the series created by Beatrix Potter.
 5. Cruella - Discover what happened to turn an aspiring fashion designer into
    the evil villain everyone loves to hate in 101 Dalmatians.
 6. Luca - The latest Disney Pixar movie is a coming-of-age story about two boys
    that just happen to be sea monsters. This heartwarming tale set in an
    Italian seaside town is already a summer hit.
 7. Boss Baby 2 (Release date: July 2) - Talking babies go undercover to prevent
    an evil genius from turning toddlers into brats.
 8. Space Jam: A New Legacy (Release date: July 16) - Lebron James stars with
    Bugs Bunny and the Tune Squad in the follow-up to the original Space Jam
    starring Michael Jordan.
 9. Jungle Cruise (Release date: July 30) - The fantasy adventure movie based on
    the classic Disney ride stars The Rock and Emily Blunt on a quest to find an
    ancient tree with healing powers.

Thanks to streaming, watching a movie anytime, anywhere has never been easier.
So this summer, grab some popcorn (and maybe the remote) and get watching!

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!
