Summer of Love

There’s something about summer that sings love. Maybe it’s the scanty clothes, the dewy complexions or the increased drinking, but summer romances have an established place in the movie canon, and in audiences’ hearts. Here are some of our favourite scorchers, presented in the most romantic way we could imagine: by box office profit.

Forrest Gump

“Run Forrest Run!” shouted Jenny (Robin Wright Penn) to Forrest (Tom Hanks), and run he did. He ran through college, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Civil Rights movement, disco and the 80s, always speeding towards Jenny’s heart. He did a fair job running through moviegoers’ wallets, too, with Forrest Gump raking in $679 million worldwide. (credit: Paramount Pictures)
