A summer breeze, please

Spent last week in Belize, and I'm already pining for 80-degree days again.
That's where movies come in.
No matter the time of year, watching "Jaws" reminds me of summer. The beach scenes, the lazy pace of people on vacation ... even the boat vs. shark battle somehow brings calm, summer nights to mind.
What films blast past winter and put you in a summer state of mind?

Bull Durham. There is something to that whole "Boys of Summer" thing, especially the day game scenes where it's hot and dusty and a younger, hairer Kevin Costner is sweating and smiling.

Jaws could be the ultimate summer film. I was in Martha's Vineyard the summer they filmed it. We had such fun watching the filming. My friends and I were the annoying kids asking the film techs questions about the mechanical sharks, and how they worked the sinking boats. Fun stuff! Bond movies always remind me of summer, we saw so many of them at the drive-in!
