We might all need a quick pick-me-up by retreating to the warmer waters of the movies after the heat of summer has subsided and the cold, miserable suffering of winter has descended. While seeing a beach-themed movie can make you worry that you’ll need a bigger boat, these movies are carefully chosen to capture the spirit of a beach getaway and entice us to jump back in the sea and ride off into the distance. The most comfortable aspect of it is that you can enjoy all of these from the comfort of your couch without the need for summer body. Look into these ten beach-themed books for the ideal quick getaways.
50 First Dates
Adam Sandler has frequently used Hawaii as the backdrop for his romantic comedies since it is such a breathtakingly gorgeous location. Unusually, Henry (Sandler) falls for local artist Lucy (Drew Barrymore), but he soon learns that she suffers from a unique form of amnesia that makes her forget him every time she goes to sleep. With every new day, he tries to charm her once more. The plot makes the most of its gorgeous background by having a lot of the action take place outside. For example, when Henry plans ways to stop Lucy on the road, the rolling hills are displayed. Lucy’s important amnesia revelation scene is even placed at the end of a long pier. The movie makes sure that the Hawaiian setting will be enduring.
Blue Hawaii
Blue Hawaii offers all the beach vacation amenities you could possibly need, including romance, music, whimsy, sun, surf, and sandy beaches. Elvis’ vacation was enjoyed by the audience, and the movie was so well-liked that many of his later productions used the same formula (putting Elvis in an exotic setting, then heaping on romance and songs till the joyful ending), but none of them were as successful as Blue Hawaii. Thanks to the classic ballad “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” Elvis Presley’s most financially successful film also included his most popular soundtrack.
Blue Lagoon
Two young children (Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins) are abandoned on a lush tropical island when their ship sinks. The kids are forced to deal with surviving the island, a nearby cannibal clan, and their own developing emotional and sexual relationships for one another as the years go by. Even though the movie received poor reviews, it was a great commercial hit and one of the highest-grossing movies of 1980. Be cautious while eating any crimson berries since the beautiful Fijian landscape and the (debatably sensual) underwater pictures will make you yearn for your own private beach getaway.

With its joyful attitude, sun-kissed cheeks, and amazing variety of musical performances, the film is a campy classic that brilliantly utilises the magnificent setting of the Greek Islands.

The Odyssey, a biopic of renowned French director, researcher, scientist, and diver Jacques Cousteau, will transport you to a subaquatic world.

Even if the locations aren’t your cup of tea, the touching tale of four friends who support one another through all of life’s ups and downs will make you feel good inside.
