The Sound of Music
The warm weather will have you dancing in a scenic alpine meadow just like Julie Andrews. Mary, a free-spirited woman, leaves the convent and becomes a governess to the seven children of the widowed and retired naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp.
Spring Breakers
When spring comes along, spring break is sure to follow. And college students Candy (Vanessa Hudgens), Faith (Selena Gomez), Brit (Ashley Benson), and Cotty (Rachel Korine) are on their worst behavior as they rob a diner to fund their trip to Florida where they land in even more hot water.
The Great Gatsby
Don't we all dream of Gatsby-style pool parties as soon as the weather warms up? Set in the 1920s, Tobey Maguire stars as Nick Carraway, a writer who arrives in New York and becomes captivated with the luxurious life led by millionaire Jay Gatsby (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her husband Tom (Joel Edgerton).
Little Women
This coming-of-age film, based on a literary classic, is set in the years following the Civil War. It tells the story of four sisters -- Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy -- as they pursue careers, dreams, and romances. Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Emma Watson, and Eliza Scanlen star in the Greta Gerwig written and directed drama.
Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins is the magical nanny we all wish we had when we were kids. She arrives to take care of Jane and Michael, the children of the wealthy Banks family, and introduces them to a world beyond their wildest imagination. The musical stars Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.
10 Things I Hate About You
Nothing says springtime like the prom! In this classic ‘90s rom-com, Bianca becomes smitten with a new student at school and is forced to find a workaround to her father’s strict rules on dating by setting her sister, Kat (played by Julia Stiles), on a date with bad boy Patrick (played by the late Heath Ledger).
Booksmart
On the eve of their high school graduation, Amy and Molly realize that they may have missed out on the best of their teenage years. They decide to make up for lost time in one single night in this unfiltered teen comedy.
Emma
This period comedy-drama follows the story of Emma Woodhouse, a wealthy and elegant young woman living in Regency-Era England, who meddles in other people’s romantic lives only to realize love has been staring her right in the face this whole time.
The Secret Garden
There’s nothing like a magical garden coming to life to indicate that spring is in full bloom. In the film, based on the 1911 book, Mary Lennox, a recently-orphaned young girl, goes to live with her uncle in England in a gloomy manor. She soon finds the sunshine when she helps to bring a neglected garden back to life.
The Wizard of Oz
When a tornado rips through a farm in Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) is swept away to the magical land of Oz. During her journey she befriends a Scarecrow, a TinMan, and a Cowardly Lion and learns that "there's no place like home" in the 1939 classic.
A League of Their Own
The comedy-drama follows one rule: there’s no crying in baseball. Nothing screams spring quite like the return of America's pastime. Set in the early 1940s, an all-female baseball league aims to fill the void left behind by male professional players who were drafted to war. At the center of the drama are competitive sisters Dottie (Geena Davis) and Kit (Lori Petty). The film also stars Tom Hanks, Madonna, and Rosie O’Donnell.
