Movies to make you laugh, movies to make you cry and a few that will make you groan. We're not telling you which is which, though we will tell you what (besides popcorn) will enhance (or safeguard) your viewing experience...

• Point Break - Keanu Reeves as an FBI agent trying to penetrate a criminal gang of surfers led by Patrick Swayze. Look for Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers as one of the surf thugs. This is a total tattoo, surf punk moment.
• Blue Crush - Kate Bosworth as a Surf Champ who must choose between a guy and her own goals. Very one-piece wetsuit. Accessorize with surfboard.
• Rebel Without A Cause - James Dean as a new-in-town troubled teenager, Natalie Wood as the Girl Next Door, and Sal Mineo as a sweet, sensitive "sissy boy." Together, the three form their own family unit until tragedy intervenes. Have a box of tissues handy.
• Wattstax- A supershot of Seventies Soul Music! With Richard Pryor, Isaac Hayes, The Dramatics, The Emotions, The Staples Singers and Rufus Thomas, among others on this all-star bill. Platforms and hot pants required.
• The Flamingo Kid - Fresh out of high school, a bored Brooklynite played by Matt Dillon gets a job parking cars for the summer at a swanky Beach Club where he's dazzled by money and glamour. Retro wear definitely.
• Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - A widowed housewife sets out for Los Angeles with her precocious 11-year-old-son to make a new life for herself. On the way, she and her son meet up with a collection of characters including a very funny Jodie Foster and discover that contentment comes in many forms. Bell bottom hip-huggers and some chunky, square-toe, Frye boots.
• American Graffiti - Set in 1964, this look at the hopes and dreams of a group of high-schoolers in a small California town is funny and touching. See if you can identify all the cast members who went on to become big stars. Great soundtrack! Crinoline skirt optional, bobby socks required.
• Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music - Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, the Who, Canned Heat, Joan Baez! Long Before Lollapalooza and Coachella there was Woodstock - a mindblowing, three-day festival with cutting edge bands and music now considered classic. Jeans, T-shirts, or, nothing at all.
• Airplane! - A completely ridiculous spoof of disaster movies with a cast ranging from ex-basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, to Ethel Merman. Watch your liquid intake before you start this one - it's that funny. Or, put down plastic sheeting to protect the furniture. We mean it.
• The Inkwell - A troubled teen (Larenz Tate) sees a whole new world when he and his family spend Fourth of July with his wealthy cousins on Martha's Vineyard. With Jada Pinkett. Early Eighties Wear!

Actually, it's five "must-haves" for girls and five for guys, but there are a few things you can swap. Best of all, the time to buy is now, as most stores and sites are having killer sales!

Girls:

• Gladiator Sandals - High-heeled or flats, this is the "It" shoe of the summer (and probably into early fall). Best of all, you can find this look at every price, and we haven't seen a version yet that we didn't love. [search: Gladiator Sandals]




• The Boyfriend Blazer - The oversize sport coat is another "It" look for summer that will take you right into fall. Buy it new, "borrow" it from some guy you know, or scan your local thrift and vintage stores. Buy it roomy, roll up the sleeves, belt it, or leave it open, decorate it with vintage brooch or band pins. This is the kind of look we love most; it works with anything - jeans, leggings, skirts - and always looks great. [search: Boyfriend Blazer]




• Skintight Micro Mini - A supercool look but whether it's a skirt or a dress, watch where you're going - and how you're sitting. Great for a party or a date, not so great for school or work. Sit with your knees together or carefully crossed at all times. Also, this look has its limitations; it works best if you have long legs - and really nice underwear. If you drop something, consider it gone, unless you're really good at stooping - knees bent, both feet flat on the floor - and you're wearing really nice underwear. Be careful getting out of cars. If you want to dial it down a bit, pair your micro-mini with colored opaque tights. This look requires a real commitment. [search: Micro Mini]




• The Maxi - Sophisticated and incredibly versatile, these ankle-skimming dresses and skirts come in every color and print imaginable and are perfect for a romantic evening, a summer barbecue or just hanging out. Best of all, there are flattering versions for everyone! Perfect paired with heels or flats. Don't forget to take your new Boyfriend Blazer to ward off the evening chill. [search: Maxi Dress]




• The Statement Necklace - Big, chunky, exotic. Another trend with plenty of pow. Prices range from $20 to $200,000 and up. There's nothing dainty about this trend; it's all about big stones (fake or real) big beads (wood, glass or metal) big ornaments, big style! Look for Indian and African accents and keep the rest of your outfit simple - the Statement necklace says it all. [search: Ethnic Statement Necklace]




• Neon accessories - It's the Eighties all over again as neon returns in all its super-fun splendor! Try it in stages: Start with neon nails, lips and eyes. If you love what you see, grab some bracelets, rings and sunglasses. Still digging the dazzle? Check out neon Ts and tights. Trends like this are usually gone in a flash, but even when it's "out" a little neon will brighten up the grayest day.

Guys:

• Skinny Jeans - Fellas, unless you've been living under a rock, you already know that the five-sizes-too-big-jeans-hangin'-off-your-knees thing is over. Done. Hella-tired. What you might not know is that the new, skinny, fitted jeans are made to be rolled up, and beat up - even when you wear them with a sport jacket and a dress shirt. We're very in favor of clothes that can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'.




• Madras - Another incredibly versatile fabric, madras, a plaid cotton usually sewn into patchwork and then made into trousers, swim trunks, Bermuda shorts and shirts is showing up all over. It's cool and comfortable and for some reason, it's considered perfectly acceptable for semi-dressy occasions. We're especially digging the nerd cool of the madras Bermuda and swim trunks. [search: Madras shorts]




• Buttoned Cotton Vest - The vest is a trend continuing right into Fall, so even if you're late on getting with it, it's worth checking out. A vest is a super-cool way to spark up a T-shirt and jeans, as well as a great way to take the starch out of a dress suit. We've seen them from $40 to $400, but thrift stores and vintage re-sellers are also great places to score this item.




• Neon - You'd have to be pretty outgoing to deal with the looks you'll get in a pair of say, neon-colored trousers, but anyone can (and should) handle the compliments you'll gather in a sizzling neon T-shirt, tank, hoodie or swim trunks - or all four at once. Or, dazzle a dark suit with a super-intense neon necktie. There's something strangely energizing and ultra-cool about wearing neon.




• Straw fedora - In your great-grandfather's day, a man wasn't properly dressed if he didn't wear a hat on the street. Fortunately, things aren't that strict anymore, but a good hat still makes a guy look that much sharper. This summer, check out the straw fedora, especially in a stingy brim (the sales guy will know what you mean) which has a skinnier (2") brim than the traditional 3" fedora brim. If you really like how you look, you can spring for a felt version when the weather gets cooler. [search: men's hats]
