The idea of summertime brings to mind long, languid warm days, carefree, sun-baked holidays, the sound of crickets and sultry evenings spent alfresco. Summer changes the way we feel, often lighter and freer. Some films imbue such images and emotions more than others; we round up the 10 best.

Liv Tyler stars as a 19-year old who goes to visit her bourgeois bohemian aunt and uncle who live in a beautiful Tuscan farmhouse, in the hope that she might find her real father and also to reignite her crush on local neighbour, Niccolo. This is a coming of age film set in the most beautiful environment, its heat amplified by Bernardo Bertolucci’s languid, wistful style of film-making. Nights are long, sultry and hot, innocence is lost and life lessons gleaned in this unforgettable, atmospheric tale. Liv Tyler’s 90s summer wardrobe is also worthy of your attention, all wafty floral dresses teamed with beat-up sandals or trainers.
