Holiday movies can count for this, but does anyone have any other movies you only watch certain times of the year? For me, I only watch Dazed and Confused in late spring/early summer. Maybe it's just the setting, but that's always when I've watched that one. Anyone else have others like that?
I love watching all my "summery" movies in the summer, but then I'll also watch them during the winter to cheer myself up and help me pretend for a while that it's summer. I have set up a block of new (to me) "summery" movies (don't know how else to describe them, and many times they're foreign) in the Netflix queue to watch throughout this summer. It just feels like it helps me celebrate summer more.

Yes, but not necessarily matching the seasons. I go through phases. Right now I am really into movies with the holiday feeling. Family-friendly movies. Movies that show good triumphing in the traditional sense.
We have at least 500 DVDs (not counting TV series), which I divide in half so that we watch 250 or so one year and the other 250 the next year -- and these are then divided into seasons. I do match the "season setting" of the movie to the actual season we are in. We also try to match the type of movie to the type of meal we are having (for example, Westerns with steak). We watch a movie during dinner and then finish it after dinner. We actually love our routine, and as my husband is an engineer, I am retired, and our kids have left, it actually serves as our weekday "being together quality time". (We do more active things together on the weekends, btw!)

Wow!
I haven't done this yet, but I'd like to make the same food that's featured in the movie. Like every time I watch "Julie & Julia," I'm dying for the food in it. "Big Night," etc. All the food(ie) movies. I think it would be fun to eat those dishes while you're watching the movie.
