These may not be the greatest titles of all time, but they're the right movies for right now
Allright, it's the middle of the Summer, the days are long and the nights are hot. What are you gonna watch
1. Caddyshack (1980) - Harold Ramis and Bill Murray should probably go down as one of the best contemporary comedic directors/actor teams we have today. I like Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day enough but this one set the standard.
2. Jurassic Park (1993) - This film for me, epitemizes the term Summer blockbuster. I still vividly remember standing in line, in 110+ degree heat in Phoenix for this movie. I also remember the young woman in front of us passing out from the heat as we waited. I think she was from Minnesota.
3. Born on the Fourth of July (1989)- Hey, remember when Tom Cruise wasn't such a joke? Niether do I but this is still one of his best performances and it's not something that comes up in conversation very often so now would be the perfect time to take a second look at one of Oliver Stone's best movies.
4. Dog Day Afternoon (1975) - Al Pacino was destined for stardom after his performance in Sidney Lumet's classic drama about a bank robbery. ATTICA ATTICA!!!!
5. Sexy Beast (2000) - I flat out love this movie. And it just so happens to take place in the wonderful heat of the Summer in Spain.
Enjoy!
