joins us for his picks this month. And since the heat has been breaking records this summer, we thought we'd look at some awesome beach movies!
- DEEP WATER (2006) Netflix
This gripping and intense documentary chronicles the fascinating story of Donald Crowhurst, a sort of British everyman who impulsively decides to enter the first non-stop sailing race around the world. It's a fascinating study of men under incredibly stressful and dangerous conditions.
- OPEN WATER (2004) Netflix
This low budget film based on a true story was a surprise hit. Made for only $500,00, it made close to $60 million at the box office. A young professional couple goes on a vacation in the Caribbean, but through a screw-up with the head count, they are left behind.
- THE ENDLESS SUMMER (1966) Netflix
This low budget surfing flick absolutely changed pop culture. The film played throughout the world and was hugely responsible for the sudden, explosive popularity of surfing.
- BEACH PARTY (1963) Amazon Prime
This is the film that started it all – Frankie & Annette would go on to appear in five more beach movies together, but this was the first pairing. The crazy plot has Robert Cummings as an anthropologist studying the American teenager as one would a foreign culture.
It’s goofy and cheesy and everyone from Morey Amsterdam to Vincent Price show up. And after a real day at the beach, it’s a fun little tonic to kick back with. Needless to say, the surfing in this doesn’t hold a candle to Endless Summer.
