2. 500 Days Of Summer (2009)

LOS ANGELES, USA

by

You know what they say. One must maintain a little bit of summer, even in the middle of winter. If you're feeling a little blue and mellow, but also in the mood for some comedy and summertime fun, then we highly suggest for you to re-watch 500 Days of Summer. Shot in the city of Los Angeles, the movie will really give you those summer vibes in addition to an addicting lovestory of a young couple. Starring the beautiful and quirky Zooey Deschanel, you will even forget your post-summer blues and get caught up in this romantic summer-y flick.

3. The Parent Trap (1998)

NAPA VALLEY, USA & LONDON, UK

by

If you were born in the early 90's, then we assume you would be familiar with the all-time famous childhood actor, Lindsay Lohan. Known as one her best movie debuts, the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap. The movie tells a story about two long-lost twins accidentally reunited at a summercamp located in California. Lohan, who portrayed both twins (we know what you're thinking... "How was that possible?", that's a story for next time!) lived in Napa Valley of California and London of the United Kingdom. Watching their summercamp adventures will relive that childhood side of yours, of those summer activities that you would do... and sometimes, reliving those memories in your head is actually enough to get by! Not to mention, the soundtrack of the whole entire movie is going to give you such a cozy warm feeling to drive those holiday blues away.

4. Grease (1978)

VENICE BEACH, USA

by

This one-hit-wonder movie starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, surely deserves to be on our list of binge-worthy movies. Set in the famous Venice Beach in Los Angeles, California, we can all agree that it doesn't get more summer-y than that. From the boardwalk fun, to the endless fresh ocean breeze, Venice beach can truly give off the perfect idea of a summer getaway. If you happen to be saving for you next summer vacation, this retro flick will motivate you to the max so that you'll get the fullest out of your next holiday.

5. My Girl (1991)

ORLANDO, FLORIDA, USA

by

I got sunshine, on a cloudy day... and with that said, this 90's movie starring Julia Roberts will surely turn your cloudy day to a day full of sunshine. The movie will keep your mind preoccupied by its sad storyline, leaving you with a mixture of different emotions... but mostly good ones! Moral of the story: there's a a rainbow at the end of every rain. If you're not feeling so great now, we totally understand. You're probably dreading another day of work, or maybe school. But at the end of the day, you'll be rewarded again with another vacation awaiting you.

6. The Sound of Music (1965)

VIENNA, AUSTRIA

by

Climb every mountain, ford every stream... We know, this movie goes even way back than you had expected. Despite the title of the movie, this movie is a must watch for you escapists who prefer a more European style of summer. As you watch the movie, the main actress, Julie Andrews (who is now of course much, much older), brings you in a semi sing-a-long journey throughout the whole movie making you feel like part of the movie (for real!). You'll be taken to beautiful, green Austrian hills and down to canals for the many adventures in the movie.

The best part of the movie is that you will see the difference in the generation back then; what summer break was like, what activities were done, and you'll be surprised at how different it is to the present day. After watching this movie, a part of you will appreciate your summers so much more.
