No summer is complete without staying inside and watching movies about summer! With so many movies about summer camp one could conceivably spend their entire summer indoors without catching a single ray of sun! And they should! It would only be right! Here are the best possible movies any human could possibly make about summer camp:
Friday The 13th: Part 6, Jason Lives
In the sixth chapter of the academy award deserving Friday the 13th series Jason Voorhees (played by the late great Jack Palance) comes back to kill the teenagers who have once again decided to make out and get laid at Camp Crystal lake, and this time there's a whole summer camp of children there too! Ask almost anyone and they will tell you the thing they miss most about summer camp is being stalked by a relentless, unstoppable killer.
Wet Hot American Summer
Hands down the smartest, and one of the funniest all time movies about spending lazy days hanging out at summer camp. Extra points to Christopher Meloni for his hilarious shell-shocked Vietnam War Veteran camp chef.
Meatballs
The undisputed king of summer camp movies. Bill Murray turns in a hilarious performance as the old guy who makes all the funny jokes while the technically more important kid characters do stuff.
Heavyweights
What's more hilarious than four fat kids who've been given the gift of flight, and become cannibals, and decided to eat an old man inside a giant sandwich while soaring through the clouds? Is it obvious that I've never actually watched this movie?
American Eiskrem 3 1/2
I found this while looking around for great summer movies. According to the description it's about: "Sommerferien sollten es werden - doch alles geht schief in Lake-Side-Sommercamp. Ein gerissener Konkurrent will das Camp ruinieren." Loosely translated I believe that means: "Overweight young man finds secret crystal that give him power to get girls. But secret crystal give him too much power. He goes mad. Wears suit made out of loving dogs. Can he be stopped? Let the fun begin!"
Camp Nowhere
Kids take over a camp and make it their own. Similar in plot to "The Lord Of Flies" except there the kids divide into two groups and learn the dark lesson that violence is at the core of man's nature, where in this movie they just have a great time and end up BFFs for life.
Meatballs III
Technically, not quite as good as the original Meatballs, but any movie where a dead porn star is sent from Heaven to teach Corey Feldman how to get laid gets two thumbs up in my book.
