1. Cheaper by the Dozen 2

Wish you were spending family time by the lake? You'll feel like you're on vacation right alongside the Bakers in this sequel to the classic 2003 film.

This movie will have you laughing with the Bakers the whole way through—and trying to convince your family to hit the lake yourselves this summer.

2. The Sandlot 2

Girl power + baseball—what's not to love? The Sandlot is a classic for a reason, but the sequel is even better if you want to see girls join the team and absolutely crush the world of sports. This fun movie about friendship and courage (with a dash of romance mixed in) will have you ready to try out for the summer rec league...and excited for some Sandlot-esque games of your own.

3. Aquamarine

This is the *ultimate* movie for girlies in their mermaidcore era. Claire and Hailey, during their last summer days together, meet a Real. Live. Mermaid. (AKA the dream!) You'll be wishing for your very own pair of magical starfish earrings and feeling ready for a summer full of adventures with your besties.

4. Teen Beach Movie

A musical on a beach? Count us in! It might be too cold to be dancing in cute swimsuits right now, but you can def have an at-home sing-along with Mack and Brady as they find themselves in a 1960s movie that pits surfers against motorcycle bikers. You'll be on your feet and ready to hang ten by the time "Surf Crazy" comes on—and no one can resist dancing to "Cruisin' for a Bruisin'." This go-to musical will transport you to the beach *and* give plenty of outfit inspo for your summer hangs.

5. The Kissing Booth 3

This movie is the perfect option to bring about all the summer vibes.
