The Swimmer (1968) – 95 minutes

Say goodbye to summer parties with this film based on the famous John Cheever story of the same name. Burt Lancaster stars in this portrayal of fading WASP social life as he jumps from one neighbor’s pool party to another pool party, ‘swimming’ his whole town.  It is an affecting examination of changing social mores and cultures; those which preserve and those which don’t.

Three (1969) – 105 minutes

Say goodbye to summer vacation travels with this portrayal of two American college friends (played by Sam Waterson and Robie Porter) spending their summer driving around Italy and France in an old Puegeot. They soon finds themselves rivals for the attentions of a mysterious woman (played by Charlotte Rampling).

Land of the Pharaohs (1955) – 106 minutes

It stars Joan Collins, Jack Hawkins and James Robertson Justice with a script written in part by William Faulkner.
