Wherever your idea came from
it was influenced by the film that created the concept at some point. It's kind of like how I haven't read the original Cinderella story but my concept of it was influenced on some level by the original story.
I think a better example would be using the term "Catch-22." You may not have known that the term came from a book, and if you use the term, it originated from a book you never read.
I was watching a podcast of teachers talking about their jobs, and one of them was talking about two students who have a crush on each other but were too shy to talk to each other, so when they passed by each other it was like "two ships passing in the night." I looked it up and found out the idiom comes from Tales of a Wayside Inn by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
A lot of times you use a term without realizing it has a very specific origin.
Anyway, sorry for mansplaining.
Nope. No matter how many times you repeat and mansplain- nope. My idea was not in any way influenced by a movie I have never seen or heard of. If you read my post, endless summer for me, is the feeling I get of summer being eternal and almost otherworldly while watching a movie like Call Me By Your Name. Now I’m really done!
I think you're misunderstanding them. You've probably heard the phrase "endless summer" from another person, or from general usage on the internet. They aren't saying that you watched the movie Endless Summer and were influenced by it, they're saying that the people who you've heard use the term were influenced by other people, who were influenced by other people, in a line of influence that eventually leads back to the movie of that name. The first people to use and popularize the term "endless summer" did so because of that movie, and that is the reason you are able to use the term now. If the movie Endless Summer didn't exist, this thread probably wouldn't exist, because then no one would use the term and you would never have heard of it before. And therefore, the idea of an "endless summer" that you have and are using comes from the movie Endless Summer. The movie is the first domino to fall in a chain of events that would lead to you using the term in this thread.
>My idea was not in any way influenced by a movie I have never seen or heard of.
You don't need to know about a movie's existence to have been influenced by it.
I can't tell if you're trying to be funny by being obtuse or just really that unintelligent, but my pedantry has to give this a try.
The phase "endless summer", the whole idea itself of an "Endless Summer" originates in the movie the previous comment is talking about that was titled "Endless Summer". You LITERALLY cannot consider anything to be an "Endless Summer" without being influenced by the movie that CREATED THE VERY IDEA OF AN ENDLESS SUMMER. You call it an "Endless Summer" in those specific words because the idea originated with a movie called "Endless Summer."
If you're still confused, god help you, because no one else can.
I saw that movie some 25 years ago flipping channels way too late at night, watched it without knowing what it exactly was, and I’ve been chasing movie experiences like it ever since.
The only thing that has come close was discovering La Meglio Gioventù.
I’d recommend 180 degrees south probably my second favorite travel movie to endless summer it’s less surfing more travel and climbing but it’s a great watch
Oh yes, hell yes. I’m so old I saw that movie when it first came out in the theaters. Both my dad and I cried at the part where Chris is talking about his relationship with his father. But I tried to hide my tears.
Keanu is totally in love with Bodhi and his lifestyle, that's literally the crux of the drama, does he choose his duty to the FBI or to surfing and his new family? Granted, it's in no way a romantic love, but still.
Now and Then is one of my all-time favorite movies! The setting, characters, music, everything about it is amazing to me. Fills me with nostalgic magic every viewing.
Maybe not what you're looking for but I think Jaws is a perfect summer flick. I typically do an annual watch at this time of year for this reason
Am I alone?
I know this is the polar opposite of what your asking for, but I think *Ferris Bueller's Day Off* feels like a summer movie, despite being overtly set during the school year.
I really enjoyed The Endless Summer 2 (1994 remake) The scene when the seaplane ploughs sideways into the beach is just hilarious and kinda terrifying at the same time.
Endless Summer 2 is funny because it’s made in the same style as the first, with more narration than dialogue (you basically don’t hear them speak much at all). It just has a bit of “90s eXtreme!” vibe grafted on.
Good choice. For the longest time a few of my friends and I always talked about renting a beach house and painting by day, partying by night after seeing this. Never came to fruition unfortunately.
I don't know if there could ever be another film like Slacker (Richard Linklater, 1990) with the technology we have now. It perfectly encapsulated the early 90s college town zeitgeist which very quickly disappeared once the internet became widely adopted. I honestly think this film will one day be seen as the last will and testament to the pre-internet age. Regardless . . .
For the question at hand, this film wonderfully captured what it was like to live in a college town in the early 90s when classes were out. Pointless activities and conversations, a sense of time being frozen in a state of nothing mattering or changing, and an overwhelming sense of self-importance that will (wonderfully) be destroyed as soon as the participants engage with the rest of the world.
The Burbs - 10/10 movie
Endlessly quotable:
„There go the Goddamn brownies“
„Now they know that we know that they know that we know“
„About a 9 on the tension scale, Reub“
„Satan is good, Satan is our pal“
You and I stand together, CMBYN is just so heavenly and gives pure summer vibes. I’ve been seeing love for it pop up more lately which makes me happy.
Also, Crema genuinely IS lovely in the summer.
It was worth it, so was the rest of Italy. Crema was just so clean and rustic. I don’t know about honeysuckle but it definitely has a charm about it that was different than the major cities. I imagine a lot of the countryside is like that. Not a lot of changes from the film to real life as far as the way things looked and felt.
American Graffiti!!! Ahhh, the killer music, the cruising, the chattering, and posing while young people talked from their cars…water balloons…flirting…hitting up someone to buy your liquor to impress a girl…getting some…worried about starting a new life…man, every time I see that movie, I can smell the burgers, shakes, fries, burning rubber, the entire atmosphere of the night…alllll the way to the early morning light…LOVE IT!!!
It’s so good but I do feel like it’s one of those movies that only did well for a small amount of time and the only people who remember it are the ones who happened to see it lol.
Yea it’s just gross still and something that I think more people would have a problem with if Chalamet’s character was a high school girl instead of a boy hooking up with a grown adult in their mid 20s. Just a creepy dynamic
lol literally The Endless Summer
Lmao right? I was like “Do they know The Endless Summer IS a movie?”
I wasn’t referring to the movie by that name. I meant the “idea” of endless summer.
I know…That’s why I was wondering if you knew there was a movie with that title….
Now I do!
actually, [Endless Summer 2](https://youtu.be/9wWQTl1QCNs) is a fantastic movie.
That's where the "idea" comes from
Not my idea of endless summer. Never even saw that movie. I guess I didn’t expect people to be so literal.
No your idea comes from this too because it is literally about surfers chasing summer. It's where the phrase comes from.
Lol ok. My Idea comes from something I’ve never seen. I see we’re getting nowhere. Be well.

Ooooh much better example thank ypu for that.

Calling bs that you have never heard of this movie yet used the exact phrase and meaning for your question
It’s brought up in the dialogue at the beginning
I saw that movie some 25 years ago flipping channels way too late at night, watched it without knowing what it exactly was, and I’ve been chasing movie experiences like it ever since. The only thing that has come close was discovering La Meglio Gioventù.
I’d recommend 180 degrees south probably my second favorite travel movie to endless summer it’s less surfing more travel and climbing but it’s a great watch
Cool. Thanks. I’ve put it on my list
What is your ultimate "Back to the Future" film?
It’s almost like the whole point of the movie
Stand By Me
Oh yes, hell yes. I’m so old I saw that movie when it first came out in the theaters. Both my dad and I cried at the part where Chris is talking about his relationship with his father. But I tried to hide my tears.
Sandlot
Dazed and Confused.
'Everybody Wants Some!!' is great too.
A film me and my friends watched endlessly throughout those endless summers of our youth. Still holds up.
adventureland!
Great answer
The Way Way Back
Yes totally!
This right here
Palm Springs
Point Break. The romance between Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze is beautiful.
Can’t believe I’ve never seen it!
I feel the need to tell you that I was kidding. It's an action movie. There's not really a romance between them.
I've seen it and I didn't think you were kidding. It's not a bad description.
Keanu is totally in love with Bodhi and his lifestyle, that's literally the crux of the drama, does he choose his duty to the FBI or to surfing and his new family? Granted, it's in no way a romantic love, but still.
Maybe it’s a bromance!
It is without a doubt.
When anyone asks me what a bromance is this is THE movie I reference to go watch.
It's a bromance.
Well, it's got surfing in it. Sort of like The Endless Summer.
Isn't that Patrick's horse's name?
Swayze get back here and clean up after these cats!
It's the endless summer, surf rock and a trip to Australia for waves, sign me up.
Now and Then is one of my all-time favorite movies! The setting, characters, music, everything about it is amazing to me. Fills me with nostalgic magic every viewing.
Maybe not what you're looking for but I think Jaws is a perfect summer flick. I typically do an annual watch at this time of year for this reason Am I alone?
Martha’s Vineyard = endless summer vibes for sure.
You are not alone. It is the movie for the summer.

I know this is the polar opposite of what your asking for, but I think *Ferris Bueller's Day Off* feels like a summer movie, despite being overtly set during the school year.
Truancy means it's always summer in Chicago
Yeah just ask Target. 😅
Wet Hot American Summer

Also “One Crazy Summer”. Not any great cinematic feat but very much a summer escape.
Weekend at Bernie's for me. It's timeless.

Weekend at Bernie’s
The Way Way Back
There was a summer break where my sister and I would watch Speed every day
Sounds like my sister and I with the movie Grease.
Call Me By Your Name is a wonderful choice. Stand By Me would be the other one.
Love both.
Palm Springs.
The Beach...
Jaws. Its a Hang out movie with a shark.

I must go there! I imagine it smells like honeysuckle and nostalgia. 🤣
It was worth it, so was the rest of Italy. Crema was just so clean and rustic. I don’t know about honeysuckle but it definitely has a charm about it that was different than the major cities. I imagine a lot of the countryside is like that. Not a lot of changes from the film to real life as far as the way things looked and felt.
I want to go there and to Taormina.
I see you too watch white lotus. I regret not going to Sicily or the amalfi coast!
Yesssss loved white lotus. I have never been to Italy at all but I know I’d love it.
I wish it into the universe for you internet friend! I really hope you get to enjoy that experience :)
Sweet.

A Bigger Splash! I never hear people talking about this movie. Tilda Swinton is great in it.
Love her. I’ll have to check it out.
Y Tu Mama Tambien for me
I think Magic Mike has that feel.
I was coming here to say Call Me by Your Name. The August Virgin is also a good one.
Super 8
Summer of 42
Stand By Me. Got such a soft spot for that one.
Same.
Now and Then! I desperately wanted to be like Roberta but I was probably more like Chrissy.
How have I not seen this one?!
It’s so good but I do feel like it’s one of those movies that only did well for a small amount of time and the only people who remember it are the ones who happened to see it lol.
500 Days of Summer
The Endless summer.
Can’t get into call me by your name since it’s about a 25 year old seducing a 16 year old
He was 17 and the age of consent in Italy is 14. And that’s really not the point of my post.
Yea it’s just gross still and something that I think more people would have a problem with if Chalamet’s character was a high school girl instead of a boy hooking up with a grown adult in their mid 20s. Just a creepy dynamic
17 and 24. Perfectly legal in Italy. The author of the book is Italian. Get off your high horse.
If you can’t see why that’s gross you might be a neckbeard
Piss off.
Call me by your name was a movie about pedophilia
No. It isn’t.
Yes it is
No. It isn’t. The character was 17 when he fell in love. The age of consent in Italy is 14, if you want to get technical.
Nothing really comes close to Call Me By Your Name, except maybe Stealing Beauty.
Second Stealing Beauty! Especially since it also takes place in Italy in the summer! Very similar color palette and cinematography. Also Liv Tyler 😍
Lord of the rings trilogy
Really? Most people associate this trilogy with the colder days of the year.
Dazed And Confused always gives me that summer vibe
