Fellow friend @kristianminglefive selected five summer movies.  

“I’m a full-time pop culture-holic. I love everything 70s and 80s. Having grown up a gay kid in the 80s, I feel my tastes are warped in just the right ways. “- Kristian.

Last Summer (1969) – Beautifully told and filmed story of three teenagers vacationing on Fire Island who “befriend” an outsider. Their motives become questionable, and the entire movie takes a sociopathic turn that will change lives forever. Barbara Hershey and Catherine Burns are outstanding as the two lead teenage girls. 

The Other (1972) – Haunting story of twin brothers in 1935 who spend their summer pulling pranks on neighbors and family members. This movie has such a great twist which has always stayed with me and an ending that is just horrifying.  

Little Darlings (1980) – Two of my favorite actresses, Kristy McNichol and Tatum O’Neal, star in this movie about summer camp and the loss of innocence. Making a bet to see which of the two can lose their virginity first becomes a soul-searching and life-changing summer for both girls. 

The Legend of Billie Jean (1985) – I wasn’t even a teenager when I first saw this classic film about standing up for what’s right against all odds. A great soundtrack drives this fun summer adventure of teenagers trying to prove that Fair is Fair while running from a crime they didn’t commit. 

Kalifornia (1993) – A riveting story with some great set pieces about a photographer and his girlfriend who unexpectedly end up on a hot and bloody cross-country car trip with a serial killer. Very underrated, with a solid cast and a solid script.
