A wonderful, quirky, perfect movie for these hot, hot days. It’s 1960s New England, and 12-year-olds Sam (Jared Gilman) and Suzy (Kara Hayward) fall in adolescent love and run away a few days before a giant storm is set to hit. He’s running from his scout camp and foster father, Capt. Sharp (Bruce Willis, center) and she from her unhappy, offbeat family. The whole town goes in search of them, including her mother (Frances McDormand). Also starring Tilda Swinton and Edward Norton.

Maybe the last time the world really enjoyed summer was the 1960s, but here we go again with one of the top 10 summer movies of all time. Patrick Swayze is a dance instructor/all around worker bee at a Catskills resort who teaches a wealthy doctor’s daughter (Jennifer Grey, right) how to “dirty dance.” Love and complications follow. With Jerry Orbach and Kelly Bishop as Grey’s parents.
My Cousin Vinny
1992
Saturday, 12:10 p.m., Comedy Central
Despite this being a comedy— and a very funny one at that — Marisa Tomei bagged the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as the blabber-mouth girlfriend of a new, inept Brooklyn lawyer (Joe Pesci). They must travel to the Deep South to defend his college-kid cousin (Ralph Macchio) who was stopped with his friend for a traffic violation and ends up charged with murder. Just hilarious.

She wants to get into Harvard Law just to impress her Harvard-bound boyfriend (Matthew Davis), who demands a perfect wife for his political ambitions.
