There are certain movies that just feel like Summer [1], you know what I mean? Whether the movie is about Summer, has an easygoing feel to it like the season itself, or just inspires thoughts of Summer, there are certain movies that are best watched in the warm months. And when it's on Netflix and you don't have to pop in a DVD, that's the ticket right there.
So throw some popcorn in the microwave and call the family down to the TV room — your Netflix Summer movie night lineup just got really good (and if you're feeling like going out to the theatre, check out the Summer releases we can't wait to see [2]).
