Surfing, sleep-away camp, sailing, fishing, baseball, golf, summer school, sharks, roadtrips, invading aliens: These are the things that summer is made for. At least in the movies. While the "summer blockbuster" has been a Hollywood staple since 1975, when "Jaws" was released, Steven Spielberg's classic was actually just the latest in a long line of films in another genre: the summer movie. These are the flicks in which the sun is blazing, the beach and ocean are calling, and everyone is looking for the cute blonde girl to have that summer fling with. Here then, is a list of 40 of the greatest summer movies of all time, presented in no real order. Sound Off with your favorites in the Comments. One last note: surfing movies are tricky, because as any Brah knows, the best waves really come in the winter. But since these movies just make us think about grabbing our surf boards and heading out to the water, we included them.

1. "What About Bob"

Bill Murray drives his psychiatrist, Richard Dreyfuss, crazy on his summer vacation. 

Classic Quote: "I'm sailing! I'm SAILING!"

2. "Sandlot"

A cinematic classic about baseball, childhood, and summer.

Classic Quote: "You play ball like a girl."

3. "Jaws"

The movie that launched the summer blockbuster… and Discovery Channel's "Shark Week."

Classic Quote: "We're gonna need a bigger boat."

4. "Caddyshack"

One of the funniest movies of all time. Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray all at their best. 

Classic Quote: "Looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

5. "Dazed and Confused"

Classic film about the first day of sumer vacation in 1976.

Classic Quote: "That's what I love about these high school girls, man: I get older, they stay the same age."

6. "Summer School"

I really wish my teachers in summer school were as cool as Mr. Swoop. Or that my classmates were as hot as Courtney Thorne-Smith.

Classic Quote: "Can I call my folks and tell them I won't be coming home... ever?"

7. "Field of Dreams"

Another classic baseball film with a magical twist: "If you build it, he will come."

Classic Quote: "Well, you know I... I never got to bat in the major leagues. I would have liked to have had that chance. Just once. To stare down a big league pitcher. To stare him down, and just as he goes into his windup, wink. Make him think you know something he doesn't. That's what I wish for. Chance to squint at a sky so blue that it hurts your eyes just to look at it. To feel the tingling in your arm as you connect with the ball. To run the bases - stretch a double into a triple, and flop face-first into third, wrap your arms around the bag. That's my wish, Ray Kinsella. That's my wish. And is there enough magic out there in the moonlight to make this dream come true?" 

8. "American Pie 2"

 The old crew reunites, beach style, after their freshman year of college.

Classic Quote: "When a girl tells you how many guys she's slept with, multiply it by three and that's the real number. Didn't you f*ckers learn anything in college?"

9. "Friday the 13th"

The original horror film that set up the "Jason" franchise. 

Classic Quote: "If this is a joke, I'm gonna brain 'em!"

10. "National Lampoon's Vacation"

Another Chevy Chase classic, and don't forget about Christy Brinkley in the pool. 

Classic Quote: "I think you're all f*cked in the head. We're ten hours from the f*cking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I'll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest. It's a quest for fun. I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're all gonna have so much f*cking fun we'll need plastic surgeory to remove our godamn smiles. You'll be whistling 'Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah' out of you're a**holes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!"
