I think it was on SyFy but there was one where if you went outside you got burned to death in like 30 seconds. Could never find it again but remember watching it to kill time once.

I believe Die Hard with a Vengeance is another.

Lorelli!

Sexy Beast is a great film!

Hot Shots! They were even cooking eggs on one another in that movie

And speaking of eggs, Cool Hand Luke about a sweaty chain gang in a Florida prison.

Agent Coulson

In The Heat Of The Night.

Rear Window is my pick since the hot weather is kind of a point of the setting as Jimmy Stewart is stuck indoors during a heatwave.

Volcano is a disaster movie about a volcano erupting in Los Angeles if you want something cheesy

Die Hard 3!

Heatwave (1983) Aussie film,. Walkabout another Aussie, Picnic at Hanging Rock, hang on there seems to be the theme here.

The Hill! (for the sadists reading)

The Crowman

Do films set in the desert count as "heatwave" movies?

Anyway my choice is Do The Right Thing. The heatwave thing is integral to the storyline.

Pa8301

All the Mad Max movies.

DvB

The seven year itch.
Famous for Marilyn Monroes skirt blowing up when standing over a subway air vent...
A true classic.

You could almost feel the searing Southern heat through the cinema screen.

People cooling their faces with hand fans and handkerchief.

Characters soaking with sweat in the middle of the night.

Dirt roads and creeks.

Fantastic movie too.

Jaws 2

Two more Aussie movies: Mad Max 2 and Walkabout.

dark crystal

Some of my recommendations:


U-Turn. Sean Penn has a very bad day in a very strange town in the Arizona desert.

The Paperboy. A lurid tale set in the swamplands of Florida.

Biloxi Blues. Matthew Broderick bakes in the Mississippi heat as a new WWII training recruit under the watchful eye of unhinged Drill Sergeant Christopher Walken.

Dog Day Afternoon. Bank heist goes awry during a summer day in Brooklyn.



I could happily sit and watch all of these if it wasn't so damn hot!

Cool Hand Luke.

Is this any good? Is it like an Australian Deliverance?

It's a very different film to Deliverance but similarly uncomfortable viewing at times.  A teacher gets stranded in a small town on his way to Sydney and reluctantly (at first) participates in a weekend of hard drinking with the aggressively macho locals.  A slow descent into debased masculinity follows.  It's a really good film, well worth a watch.

the purple tin

Do the Right Thing by Spike Lee; racial tensions reach a climax as tempers fray in a NY neighbourhood during a heatwave.

Which of the Sergio Leone trilogy has Clint walking through the dessert with his horse until the horse drops?

zoe 3619

Betty blue (37.2 le matin).great film.

the purple tin

Flight of the Phoenix, the original one. About a plane crash in the desert and the crew trying to get it fixed up and airborne again.


The Hot Spot has Virginia Madsen as a femme fatale getting all hot and bothered down south :eek:

Mike Litoris

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Shot in an incredibly hot and sweaty looking New Orleans. My favourite Herzog movie and Cage who I cant stand normally.

Summer of Sam. Another Spike Lee heat wave movie. Also my favourite of his.
