I want to share some summer movies that will make your summer mood on, as just few weeks left. These movies are all about details and also romantic mode with super hot actors.
1. Call Me by Your Name (2017)
Love between two men, when I felt the pain of love loss forgetting it is not “traditional love”. Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of André Aciman’s novel unfolds over one languid Italian summer in 1983, where days are filled with sun-warmed stone, cicada songs, and the quiet pulse of something changing. Elio (Timothée Chalamet) and Oliver (Armie Hammer) move from hesitant conversations to intimate confessions, their connection growing alongside the ripening peaches and rippling lake water. Guadagnino’s camera lingers on hands, glances, and the glistening edges of a pool, making the season itself feel like a living, breathing presence. By the time the final scene fades, the summer has ended—but the heat of it lingers in memory.
2. La Piscine (The Swimming Pool, 1969)
Sexy, lazy love story that will bring you french summer mood. Jacques Deray’s sleek and simmering thriller is as much about temperature as it is about tension. At a secluded villa on the French Riviera, Marianne (Romy Schneider) and Jean-Paul (Alain Delon) spend their days lounging by an azure pool, their tanned skin glistening under a relentless sun. When Marianne’s former lover unexpectedly arrives with his teenage daughter, the tranquil surface begins to ripple. Desire, jealousy, and unspoken history build slowly, like heat trapped in stone walls. The pool, once a symbol of leisure, becomes an arena for dangerous games—its calm surface hiding dark depths.
3. Asteroid City (2023)
Wes Anderson turns summer into a pastel daydream in this meticulously composed desert tale. Set in a fictional 1950s town hosting a Junior Stargazer convention, the film bathes its ensemble cast in golden light, dusty yellows, and soft turquoise skies. The oppressive desert heat wraps around quirky romances, awkward family reunions, and a surreal alien encounter. Anderson uses summer here not for beachside warmth, but as a mirage—the kind where the air itself shimmers and the heat blurs the lines between reality and performance. Every frame feels like a hand-tinted postcard sent from a strange, perfect summer that never really existed.
4. Jamón Jamón (1992)
This movie is very Spanish. Real Spain with no exaggeration. Very sexy and moody. This one the first movie of Penelope Cruz. In Bigas Luna’s outrageous Spanish tragicomedy, the sun is as much a character as the jealous lovers, dueling suitors, and clashing families. Set in a small rural town, the story swirls around Silvia (Penélope Cruz), whose beauty draws obsession from men across the social spectrum. The parched landscape—dusty roads, stark fields, and endless blue skies—becomes the perfect stage for lust, betrayal, and absurd symbolism. Here, summer heat isn’t just oppressive; it fuels a fever dream of erotic tension and satire, with images of ham legs, bullfights, and slow dances under the sun burned into the viewer’s mind.
5. Summer with Monika (1953)
Ingmar Bergman’s tender yet unflinching portrait of young love begins with a rush of freedom: Monika (Harriet Andersson) and Harry (Lars Ekborg) flee their dreary jobs for a summer spent among the rocky Swedish islands. Their days are filled with sunbathing on smooth rocks, swimming in cold, clear waters, and making love under the endless Nordic twilight. Bergman captures the intoxication of escape—those weeks when the world feels reduced to two people and the sky above them. But as the summer fades, so does the fantasy, leaving behind the bittersweet truth that not all warmth lasts.
6. And God Created Woman (1956)
This movie is all about Bardot beauty and her dance moves, and men who desire her. Roger Vadim’s scandal-making debut introduced Brigitte Bardot as Juliette, a barefoot, sun-kissed force of nature in Saint-Tropez. The camera follows her as she dances barefoot on the sand, lounges on the pier, and defies the expectations of everyone around her. Juliette’s restless energy and sexual freedom shocked audiences in the conservative 1950s, and the Mediterranean setting only amplifies her defiance—shimmering water, bright sails, and sun-washed terraces serve as an arena for her rebellions. The film not only redefined Bardot’s career but also etched the French Riviera into cinema’s collective summer dream.
7. Amrapali (1966)
Indian movies often carry brilliant, mystic, and bright summer vibes—filled with glowing light, lush settings, and a rhythm that seems to match the heartbeat of the season. Amrapali is no exception. This lavish historical romance, set in the ancient kingdom of Vaishali, follows the famed courtesan Amrapali (Vyjayanthimala) as she navigates love, political intrigue, and personal transformation after meeting King Ajatashatru. Shot in vivid Eastmancolor, the film is a feast of sunlit palace gardens, open courtyards, and golden riverbanks. For dance lovers, it’s an especially rich experience—featuring elaborate classical numbers that shimmer with the warmth and fluidity of an endless summer.
