The summer heat is officially here and while we love our beach days, sometimes the high temps can make even the most fun beach day miserable. So, we’re rounding up some of the best movies already at and heading to the big screen so you can beat the heat with a good movie.
Here are five movies we’re definitely going to enjoy some popcorn while watching:

Oh yeah, and did we mention Will Smith is playing the Genie? #GettinGenieWitIt?
Out of this world good, this classic rock movie follows the life of the one and only Elton John.

Pakistani teen, Javed, is having a hard time growing up in England in the 1980’s until he finds a common bond in the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen’s songs.
