Though they've started opening bigger tentpole movies earlier and earlier with each passing year, Memorial Day weekend has traditionally been the time when the summer movie season really gets underway as top titles begin raking in huge box office returns. Of course, 2020 is the exception to that rule so for this week's Watch With Jen film recommendations bring that feeling of summer back with a handful of movies that will mentally transport you back to the theater . . . at least for a little while.

Selecting an '80s female driven comedy, a film that's set in the heat of summer, and a big action movie that seems like precisely the kind of sophisticated cinematic escape we could use right now, this week's titles might be more familiar and accessible than some of the ones you've encountered in the past but host Jen Johans wanted to bring a little retro summer movie season fun back to you.
