My favorite summer movies are. Lord Of The Files (1963) - yes it is not summer, but it reminds me as a being a pre-teen/early teen at a night boys camp, sleeping in tents out in nature, skinny dipping in the pond, just that carefree summer days, where we did work around camp (with the counselor's guide) in a way kinda like building our own society, (but not like in the movie or book, lol. there was no tribalism, except for capture the flag), team building exercise and a way of learning that was outside of school and modern society. So, to me, it's a summer movie as I try to remember that time by watching the movie Call Me By Your Name - I know you don't like it, but I think it is a great summer movie. The magic of traveling abroad, reading books, and having a love affair. It is the perfect summer movie The whole Before Trilogy - there is too much to write about here.
