It’s the middle of August which is basically the final call for Summer! Sure, the end of Summer isn’t technically until September 22, but with school back in session and the weather cooling down, we all know that Summer really ends in August. 

That being said, it’s time to pack in as much Summer vibes as we can! Seeing as though this was probably the most un-Summer Summer due to Covid-19, most of that fun will have to be indoors! This calls for epic movie nights! And I’ve got you covered.

I’ve compiled my list of Summer movies to watch before Fall! All of the movies hold a special place in my heart because they are all filled with the main components of Summer; friendship, vacations/adventures, sun, beaches, and of course, Summer flings! 

So, grab your Lemonade, throw some ketchup on a hot dog, and get ready to squeeze out the last drops of Summertime! 

Oh! Be sure to read through to the end to get your downloadable copy of this checklist!
