Lazy Hazy Crazy days of summer - Film Fest Ideas

Hello, pwehaps like me you are feeling like a crocodile on a river bank on this hot hot day (it is 98 according to my phone app) I just have no energy, and apparently it isn't just me because my pets are all lying around too. We have air conditioning so it is quite comfortable in the house, but the outside world must be pressing us down. So I was thinking of my annual summer film festival. When I am stuck in the house each year during a heat wave, I tend to think of a themed film fest. Over the years I have enjoyed:

All the JAWS movies, the Jurassic Parks and even the Star Wars prequels, sequels and other quels

Surfer movies both old an new, beginning with Endless Summer and going up through Blue Crush among many others

Himalayan Mountain Climbing adventures like Everest 1998 or Vertical Limit 2000

If you want to jump way back and go lighter, there are the Beach Party Bingo movies and Gidget

Music Festival movies are a perfect way to laze out a too hot to trot summer afternoon and evening: Woodstock, the perrenial favorite and Festival Express!

Maybe a dip into the old paintbox: Vincent and Theo is a lovely look at the borother love of the Van Gogh siblings and there is At Eternity's Gate, and there is always FRIDA (2002)! and Georgia O'Keeefe (2009)

Perhaps you'd ike to re-visit the great epics: Lawrence of Arabia, Dr. Zhivago, War and Peace

And with July 4th coming, you might prepare with some Revolutionary War movies like The Patriot or Last of the Mohickans, or some series like John Adams and The Turncoat!

A series I am revisiting is Northern Exposure. I am in season 5. It is available for free on amazon prime.

You may be trapped in the house but your tv or laptop can set you free to roam the world! Enjoy!
