Nothing beats the heat like watching one of the best summer movies—with the air conditioner blasting, of course. Whether you're looking for high school-set film like The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, or a wholesome delight like The Parent Trap to remind you of the months you spent at camp, this list of feel good films will give you serious summer vibes. Expect coming-of-age sagas (Real Women Have Curves), love stories (Call Me By Your Name), blockbusters (Jaws), and movies fit for families (Now and Then).
When it's not the steamy season, let them transport you to back to that ineffable summer feeling, spurred from long days at the beach and seemingly boundless possibility. These films—from '80s and '90s classics, to flicks that capture nostalgia—can be streamed all year long on Netflix, Hulu, and beyond.
