Runs on Coffee and Cream

While planning Summer Camp over at IGGPPC, we've been discussing Summer and Camp themed movies which has got me thinking of my own favourites. There's a handful of movies that remind me of Summertime growing up. They're movies that when I watch them I feel nostalgic and instantly feel comforted by them.



Dirty Dancing - According to my Mom, I lived off this movie when I was a kid. I so badly wanted to be a dancer and there's some embarrassing home videos to prove it. I've grown out of that, but I still adore this movie and the soundtrack.

The Baby-Sitters Club - Growing up me and my cousin watched this movie constantly. I mean, most young girls did I believe. And of course we talked about starting up our own club. But that went nowhere because we'd just go back to rewatching the movie again.

Now and Then - This cast (the younger versions of the characters) were the actresses I grew up with in movies. I was a huge Christina Ricci and Thora Birch fan.This movie brings back lots of childhood memories.

My Girl - Along with Dirty Dancing, this movie falls into my top favourite movies of all time. The cast is perfection and this movie started my love for Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis which I've had for as long as I can remember. If you haven't seen this movie, shame on you!

The Great Outdoors - I was a bit older when I watched this movie but I instantly fell in love with it. Dan Aykroyd and John Candy make the perfect comedy pair and the setting of this movie is gorgeous.
