When it gets Hot and Humid!

Summer is beginning in Cincinnati and before you know it the temperature will be 90 degrees and the humidity 80%. While driving to work today I thought of 10 memorable movies that I would recommend for those who want to rent a movie and crank up the air:

1) Fargo (1996): One of the best movies of the past 25 years; Fargo, ND is cooler than Cincy in the summer too dontchaknow.
2) 25th Hour (2002). Monty (Edward Norton Jr.) enjoys his last day of freedom before serving a 7 year prison term. Two friends and he celebrate this day by visiting the HOTtest spots in town. It also has a memorable ending.
3) True Romance (1993): Because Alabama is hotter than Cincy in the summer. Besides, stealing, cheating, and killing are always good fodder for movies.
4) Amores Perros (2000): Because Mexico City is also hotter than Cincy in the summer. In addition, it is one of the best international films ever made.
5) Stranger than Paradise (1984): Want to take a vacation? Three characters in this movie show you how.
6) The Good Night (2007): Because it's nice to dream in the summer.
7) Black Snake Moan (2007): You talk about hot....
8) Juno (2007): What shenanigans can you get into if you are watching a movie?
9) Six Degrees of Separation (1993): Because six degrees is cooler than 90 degrees. Also because Will Smith acts tremendously and the art in this movie is outstanding!
10) Once (2007): Great music goes with a nice summer. This film contains great music. It also has a great story, tremendous acting, and one of the most reflective last scenes I have seen (pun intended).
