I also have to agree with, Grand Old Movies, any Esther Williams movie, is perfect for a Summer movie choice.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-33282153807046599402011-07-07T10:00:21.933-04:002011-07-07T10:00:21.933-04:00I love these oldies but goodies watch summer movie...I love these oldies but goodies watch summer movies using Blockbuster my mail offer and I have it free for 3 months for being a new DISH Network customer. Working for DISH I can tell you I have access to TV shows, movies, blu-rays, and games! Blu-rays are at no additional charge Netflix and Redbox cannot compete with that.

THE LONG, HOT SUMMER is a movie that always makes me feel the heat, in terms of temperature (although I guess dramatically as well). This is a great list, Rick, and I can't think of another film to add, not a classic film, at least. Films from Thailand and a lot of movies set in the South (like HEAVEN'S PRISONERS) dramatize the searing sun and high temps very well!sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-1609243124650906062011-07-05T23:26:54.010-04:002011-07-05T23:26:54.010-04:00Toto, I think your descriptions of the five movies...Toto, I think your descriptions of the five movies are better than mine! Becky, the Jeanne Crain version was the one I had in mind. It's my favorite version, too. Java, yes, if you liked LONG, HOT SUMMER, I am sure that PICNIC will appeal. Grand Old Movies, a friend of mine absolutely loved Esther Williams and would have been stunned to see that I didn't list any of her movies. Thanks for the adds!Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-90648312331896499752011-07-05T20:19:20.650-04:002011-07-05T20:19:20.650-04:00These are five fabulous flicks for summer picks, R...These are five fabulous flicks for summer picks, Rick! I love "Long, Hot Summer" with its excellent ensemble cast including the lovely Lee Remick who is perfect as Eula, whose name all the boys call in the heat of the night. "Beach Blanket Bingo" is a wonderfully fun movie. It is fun to see Bonehead and a mermaid, hear the fabulous Donna Loren, and enjoy the wise saying of Eric Von Zipper. "Picnic" sizzles because of the chemistry of Kim Novak and William Holden amidst a romantic music score. "A Summer Place" is special because of young and reconnected love in a special getaway setting. And "Body Heat" is extremely well named. Kathleen Turner and William Hurt are fabulous. Your short essays are very descriptive and spot on.

(not to mention lovely Esther to look at!) - particularly 'Pagan Love Song,' which takes place in Tahiti; the story doesn't make much sense, but w/all that gorgeous scenery (including Esther), who cares!Grand Old Movieshttp://grandoldmovies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-40844719006672216962011-07-05T11:00:27.016-04:002011-07-05T11:00:27.016-04:00The Long Hot Summer - I love your comment about ho...The Long Hot Summer - I love your comment about how everybody else "wipes" sweat, but ladies "dab with a hankie". You are a gentleman!<br /><br />Beach Blanket Bingo - Of course! Go von Zipper!<br /><br />Picnic - That music, Inge, and Holden. Sigh..<br /><br />Summer Place - Divorce, adultery, teen sex ... what a summer!<br /><br />Body Heat - You couldn't be more right..."the sweatiest movie" is right! And that score is to die for.<br /><br />Which State Fair are you thinking about? My favorite of the three is with Dana Andrews and Jeanne Craine.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.com
