You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I actually had to take some time and think about this one...
It was hard to think of something off the top of my head, and when I googled "summer movies" all I got was lists of movies that came out in the summer.
So I thought of summer vacation when I was a kid. And the movie that best represents my childhood summer vacations was:
I've watched this numerous times and even though made in 1986, it still holds up. Not many 80s movies can claim that. I grew up in the same part of the world that the movie was filmed and my summer adventures resembled those of the kids in the film. Even though the original story by Stephen King was based in Maine, the movie was based and filmed in Northern Oregon.
In contrast to most 80s movies, this one is quite realistic and subtle in it's intent. Being a kid growing up in a suffocating town in the Pacific Northwest, Stand By Me captures the feeling perfectly.

I recently watched Hot Summer Nights.
Quote by Buz
This movie really resonated with me, especially spending part of every summer at my granddad's farm in the rural north Georgia mountains. Funny, my dad has always said it reminded him of growing up in those mountains and his childhood adventures with his best buddies.
And Kiefer Sutherland's sadistic bully character really brought home a recurring bully l had to deal with for years. Funny how hard bullies fall when you grow and catch up with them and beat the fuck out of them. Very satisfying indeed.

See, we would go on adventures like that. And there were always older kids that would hunt us down and torture us.... They seemed so big and mean at the time. Now when I go back to my home town I laugh when I see them.
They married some small town girl that was hot when she was 15 now they have 3 kids.
But when we got big, we bullied the younger kids. I remember getting the younger kids to ride as fast as they could and fire arrows into their bike spokes to make them flip over forward. My cousin was a loudmouth asshole kid, and they tortured him beyond belief. But when he got older, he became the worst sadist of all. We were sadistic fuckers. We would set viet cong style traps and hold people for hours as we dropped ants onto them and bury them in neck deep stagnant water,
Stand by Me was the closest thing to my summer vacations by far. was really into bondage and psychological torture. I would get anyone's darkest desires.... but then we could all go watch cartoons at my grandma's house and have milk and cookies and watch cartoons.
