OK, sure, there are obvious things, we get excited for when the summer rolls around: lazy days of tanning in our backyards, making boozy popsicles, each time the temperature rises, and the reading by the pool every sunny day. But let’s be honest, some days (and nights!) worth the expense on the couch, binge-watching a summer-themed movie on Netflix with the AC on high. Why take a trip to the beach for the seventh day in a row when you could live vicariously through someone else to do it on the big screen (without the heat, the sweat and messy amounts of sand)?
Scroll through a binge-watcher’s guide to the best summer movies on Netflix, including everything from romantic comedies and dramas to thought-provoking documentaries, and novels based on true stories. We promise, there are enough titles to get through the all summer — you know, when it’s too hot to do outside of the house. Read about our favorite movies forward!
