Summer Sundays #3

Hello and happy Sunday!

…and it’s Father’s Day! I hope all the dads are feeling the love today. I know there are many missing their dads. My thoughts and prayers are with them as I can only imagine how their heart feels today.

As our summer continues on, I’m sharing another Summer Sunday post.

While the summer provides some more time for reading and catching up on shows, my family also seems to watch quite a few movies when we can.

Today, I’m sharing my top 5 faves plus a few more movies that are perfect for summer.

1.

My #1 favorite movie of all time is The Parent Trap…the Hayley Mills version.

I’ve seen this movie a countless number of times, and it’s my favorite movie from my childhood (and it was a classic movie then!)

The Lindsay Lohan version is great too.

2.

A League of their Own is another one of my faves, and my kids love it too. “There’s no crying in baseball!” Classic.

3.

The Goonies is one of my brother’s favorite movies, and I’ve seen it so many times. Just a couple of weeks ago, Hayden was watching it, so I stopped what I was doing to watch it with him.

“Goonies never say die!”

4.

Top Gun (the original) is one of those movies that I remember watching as a teen and feeling like a big kid. It was just more of a grown up movie, but my friends and I loved it.

We enjoyed seeing Maverick a couple of years ago as a family (with some of our friends), and it’s really great too.

5.

I remember watching Overboard at my friend Jeanna’s house when we were kids. We watched it over and over. It still brings me a sense of nostalgia when I watch it.

Other great summer movies:

Here are some other movies that are faves from my childhood (and some of my kids’ faves) that are all around classics to watch in the summer:
