Haha! <br />My friend and I do mock A Summer Place... ;) We can't help it! It's so dramatic! You should add Suddenly Last Summer to your list. That one has serious eye candy. ;)<br />~xoxo!!CoriLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17066746150136332439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-65427956723777649602014-08-06T00:20:45.133-04:002014-08-06T00:20:45.133-04:00Great choices!!!

Though it doesn't really take place at the beach (save for some of the flashbacks when they're singing Summer Nights), I always think of Grease as being at least in the same general vein as these kinds of fun, teenage centered vintage flicks.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4374594538719761301.post-2363814518534631592014-08-04T22:23:26.026-04:002014-08-04T22:23:26.026-04:00I just watched Beach Party this weekend, and I was...I just watched Beach Party this weekend, and I was shaking my head the whole time. I can't put my finger on why I thought it was so ridiculous, but everything about it just struck me as seriously strange. It felt more like a parody of a surf movie than an attempt to get at anything real. I think I've seen Where the Boys Are, but several years ago. If it's the movie I'm thinking of, I was fairly traumatized by what I remember as a scene where rape was heavily implied, although I could be mistaken. I should check out the other two, though surf or beach movies are really interesting to me right now, at this point in the summer.<br />Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.com
