All the movies I’ve watched with my husband

Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in Don't Look Now (1973)

Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale in The Fighter (2010)

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005)

Ignacio Rogers, Esteban Masturini, Joaquín Parada, and Blas Finardi Niz in Esteros (2016)

Sunshine through lush foliage, rustling breezes, cicadas and crickets, hazy vistas, languid days... I love and search for these films.

Must have: a significant part of the film or at least a critical scene with the "dappled summer" criterion of sunshine amidst greenery.

Usually: filmed in natural daylight, outdoors in nature in the spring or summer, with a soundtrack with field recordings of insects and wind through leaves.

Excludes: urban, dry or treeless settings (no desert, scrubland, grassland, savanna, tundra..) and most beach movies with a few honourable exceptions. Also fiction preferred to documentaries, mainly, and colour to black & white almost always.

Johanna ter Steege in The Vanishing (1988)

Tim Robbins in The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
