20 best summer movies of the 80s

It’s Memorial Day, so let the summer officially begin. And what better way to start than rewatching a few of the truly great summer flicks of the 80s.

How did we compile the list? Mainly through reader contributions and by surveying my vast collection of DVDs. (Yes, I own 11 of the movies below.) The criteria: The release date of the movie isn’t important — only that the “summer” play a significant role in the plot. Some real classics — “Caddyshack,” for example — aren’t high on the list because while they revolve around the summer, it’s not a big enough plot point.

And in an unprecedented move, I’ve grandfathered in one 70s flick. Look below to see which movie won that unusual exemption.
