As Moonrise Kingdom makes clear, all you need for a perfect summer day is a beach, your brother's record player, and your very favorite dance partner.

The Talented Mr. Ripley, despite its chilling psychodrama plot, captures a perfect sunny summer on the Italian Riviera (plus Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law's 1950s-era wardrobe is ah-mazing). I want to go to there.

Shot by Ingmar Bergman in 1953, Summer With Monika was a racy Swedish shocker in its day. Now the nudity just seems wholesome and kinda sweet.

Love and hate mingle in Bed-Stuy, until finally the heat makes everyone explode. Do the Right Thing gets to the heart of how and why summer can make you crazy.

Woody Allen is the king of the sex comedy; Vicky Cristina Barcelona is ostensibly a three-way romance between Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall (with a dash of Penelope Cruz for good measure), but the Spanish summer is just as crush-worthy.

Is Dog Day Afternoon a heist movie or a romance? (Both.) The hotter it gets, the more shit just falls apart for bank robbers Al Pacino and John Cazale.

A coming-of-age tale set in 1994 New York and infused with '90s-nostalgic hip-hop (and weed), The Wackness reminds you to look at the dopeness instead.

It's not about the shark, or the screaming, or the blood ... before all that starts, Jaws is a wonderful capture of a certain kind of Martha's Vineyard summer that doesn't really exist anymore. Worth watching just for the total reality of that living-in-a-swimsuit cabin life.

Jacques Tati's Mon Oncle celebrates the summer tradition of visiting people who live in much nicer houses than your own. (Fun fact: The modern house in Mon Oncle was the model for Professor Utonium's house on The Powerpuff Girls.)

Marilyn Monroe discusses various ways of keeping cool in The Seven Year Itch, including keeping your panties in the icebox and standing over subway grates to feel the breeze.
