Summer is upon on. I thought it would be fun to share movies set in the desert or during summer in general.

Lawrence of Arabia immediately comes to mind, of course. Very few films compare to Peter O'Toole's journey through the Middle East

"Cujo", and one of my all-time, top three favorites: "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". The Texas heatwave is visible in the film. It permeates the movie. The oppressive heat is practically a supporting character in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". I watch this every August, as a standing ritual.

Quigley Down Under - Not a great movie, but Selleck is handsome and Rickman is evil.
Sahara (1943) - Bogart WWII movie
I could start listing spaghetti westerns and sword and sandal movies if you want.
