I'm trying to think of some movies to add to my collection.  I'd like some good, cheesy 80's/90's summery type movies.  Light hearted type flicks with a summer feel.  Here are some I have to give you an idea what I'm looking for:

Summer Rental

Summer School

Hot Pursuit

Side Out

Point Break



I'll have to watch Great Outdoors.  I've seen bits and pieces of it.

Point Break is one of my favorite movies but I wouldn't really call it light hearted.  I think the chase scene where Patrick Swayze throws the dog at Keannu Reeves is one of the best chase scenes ever.

One Crazy Summer is a good one.

Bernie's is one I'll add.

You might also want to play with IMDB's plot keyword search.  I'm sure they have keywords for summer and 80's and such.  Cross reference from the movies you like.
