Timothy Hutton, Donald Sutherland, and Mary Tyler Moore in Ordinary People (1980)

Geena Davis, Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, Jeffrey Jones, Michael Keaton, and Catherine O'Hara in Beetlejuice (1988)

A list of movies I watched and reviewed and that I don't like!

Tim Curry, Natascha McElhone, Ioan Gruffudd, Andy Linden, Augustus Prew, and Dakota Blue Richards in The Secret of Moonacre (2008)

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.
