    1. Oh my goodness, I always enjoyed watching The Love Boat, too! I think I watched it during the rerun phase, but even still... it was always "exciting and new."

      Thank you for sharing... so good to hear how much you enjoy doing these after each block of movies! :)

  6. LOVE AT SEA was # 1 as soon Carlos sang "Can't take my eyes off you" it got me...was amazing and fun....as for the poster Season for Love...it looks like summer with the Ferris wheel...brings back memories of being on one and the feeling you get when you are coming over the top...not a fan!

    1. Sydney, that moment Carlos sang in "Love at Sea" touched my heart too! It is such a beautiful scene, and I heard Alexa cried the first time he sang to her there! Isn't that sweet? It makes that scene even more meaningful!

      Also, love the thrill of the Ferris wheel... as long as it isn't rocked! And, that feeling when you come over... whew... I know just what you mean, and yet, I still love it!!! :)

  7. My favorite movies were love on safari and a summer to remember though they were all good. Favorite posters would be all of them actually.

    ReplyDelete
  8. This is an easy one for me, Season of Love for both questions. I definitely liked this movie the best. A Summer to Remember and Love on Safari are close for 2nd favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Movie: Pearl in Paradise (it's wonderful!)

    Poster: I usually don't pay much attention to the posters, but I guess Season for Love is cute.

  10. Pearl in Paradise for both!

  11. 1. FAV. MOVIE: "A Summer To Remember"
    Such gorgeous locations and LOVED seeing the diverse cast. I'm of a Caucasion skin complexion and am beyond bored of seeing people who look exactly like me on my tv screen. So that was one of the elements I adored about this particular movie. I also felt transported to the resort, imagining myself there with them, enjoying a perfect once-in-a-lifetime holiday.

    2. FAV. POSTER: "Love At Sea"
    Let's be honest here, this is one gorgeous couple! (Not to mention the wardrobes, like the ones you featured in a previous article! SO PRETTY!!) They're also so at east around each other, they always give a warm feeling when ever you see them opposite each other on screen. So to me their movie poster was straightaway more inviting, making me want to find out about their story.

  15. My favorite movies "A Summer to Remember". & "Pearl in Paradise" because of both movies were filmed in Fiji

    My favorite poster is A Summer to Remember

    I hope Hallmark will make a movie about Underwater Resorts in the future in Fiji - submarine so, the movie called; "Love Under the Sea"

      #15- Stranded in Paradise
      #14- Summer Love
      #13- My Summer Prince

      It's a great list of Hallmark Summer movies, but not exactly how I would personally rank them. I'm sure we would all have different lists. There were a few I would definitely rank higher, and a few others... I would definitely rank lower. Overall, it was a fun marathon for Labor Day weekend!

      Blessings, Net

  19. I've been watching the countdown on TV and frankly, I'm surprised at where a number of them have ended up. I would never list them in this order. I'm wondering how they came up with these numbers.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I agree with you. I’m wondering myself.

      Delete
    2. Yes, I totally agree, Anonymous & Onita! Like I shared above, it was not the way I would list them, or even the way I expected Hallmark to rank them.

      I almost feel like it diminished the overall feel of some of the films, as if they weren't all worthy to be #1. Each one of those movies were the best movie - to someone.

      I also haven't heard how they chose where each movie would be ranked. Did someone vote? If so, I never saw this take place. Would be rather interesting to know how these rankings were chosen.

      Thank you both for sharing!

    3. My guess would be the tv ratings....surely?? It has to be because some of these are pretty old. Stranded In Paradise came out in 2014.

      Delete
    4. I was also wondering if the ratings had a hand in the decision; however, then I thought, watching a movie doesn't necessarily mean we enjoyed it. So... who knows? It's a Hallmark mystery!!! :)

      Delete
    5. Yes, Hallmark can baffle us at times with the decisions they make. I would be very upset to find out they just stuck movies where they wanted to on the count down!! That would be so unfair! Thanks for all you do Net....Blessings to you!

      Delete
    6. I think they had Season for Love #1 because it was Labor Day, and barbeque and Labor Day go hand in hand. I also happened to like that movie too. And I think Summer Villa was #2 because it was the very first official Summer Nights movie played. before 2016 they didn't have Summer Nights theme. So it was special and such a wonderful movie.

      I was surprised not to see Summer of Dreams higher as I know Hallmark really caters to the Hearties, and because Wedding of Dreams is on this weekend.

      If they ever did a voting in the future, it should be you can only vote once, and cant have multiple accounts. Sometimes I don't think it is fair that a group gets together and votes hundreds of times for the same movie. Just my opinion.

      I also think.......they should figure out a way to fit in 2019 a Fall Harvest top 15 or 10. I would love to see Fall Harvest movies being played all day and night as they played these summer movies.

  21. Season for Love, on both counts!

  22. As much as I loved each and every one of these summer movies, two stood out a tiny bit more for me. "Love on Safari" and "Love at Sea". I couldn't even rate them because I wouldn't want any "one" to be "last", Lol!! Loved the posters too!!

    1. I'm the same way, Linda. I don't mind sharing one or two favorites, but I dislike saying this "--- fill in the blank ---" movie was last. It's just not in us, is it???

      Oh, and I agree... they are all pretty great posters! Only one I would change would be Lacey & Jon... I just wish I could see more of them! :)

  23. Pearl in Paradise, new but Summer Villa my all time favorite.

  24. Love on Safari is one of the best Hallmark movies of all time. It has all the elements of love, location, beautiful scenery, amazing views, great animal scenes, and the depth of African culture and chemistry of the right people combined. Wow! Make more of these! Thank you so much!

  25. #1-Love on Safari
    #2-A Summer to Remember
    #3-Pearl in Paradise

    1. I agree, Onita... "The Beach House" would fit perfectly amongst the summer Hallmark movies, even though it technically premiered during the spring. The beach is always synonymous with summer!

  28. I loved them all this time around! If I have to choose I give the edge to Pearl in Paradise, for Jill & Kris., Love at Sea for Alexa & Carlos, Season for love, because of Texas and Autumn and Marc! I'm with Joanna above, Alexa's clothes in Love at Sea are so PRETTY!!!

  31. Hi Net! Thanks for visiting my blog. I am so glad to find someone who loves the Hallmark movies as much as I do. I think the best new Summer movie was Pearl in Paradise. I was just glued to my seat watching that. And it wasn't your usual boy meets girl, conflict, boy and girl get together movie. They could have left out all the romance and it still would have been good.

    I enjoyed seeing Catherine Bell do something other than the Good Witch too, although I do love her in that part. It has been a great Summer for sure.

    1. Thank you, Kathy, for sharing! "Pearl in Paradise" has certainly been quite a popular favorite for many! You're right, it was fun because it had more than the typical rom-com story!

      Appreciate you stopping by and saying hello! Blessings, Net

  32. Somehow, in all the summer movie madness, I kept missing Summer in the Vineyard, the follow-up to Frankie’s and Nate’s story. I really hope that Hallmark releases them on DVD together and/or uses them as a basis for their books.

    1. Maybe you can catch an encore airing one of these days; although, I don't see one on the schedule, yet. There is a third "Vineyard" movie in-the-works, so... it will surely be replayed whenever that eventually happens.

      Delete
    2. There is an encore airing showing on Hallmark Channel's web-site now for "Summer in the Vineyard"! It is Friday October 5th at 6:00PM/5c.

      Also, if you're interested, "Autumn in the Vineyard" has two encore showings on Sunday October 7 10:00PM/9c. AND Thursday October 18 8:00PM/7c.

      Hope you are able to catch them! :)

  35. I loved them all
    Each was different and brought different emotions to me.
    I enjoyed the characters and the plots.
    Love on Safari made me want to visit Africa and the love of animals great or small
    A summer to Remember reminded me to slow down as well as put Figi on my wish travel list
    Love at Sea reminded me of Love Boat-- I loved the singing too
    Pearl in Paradise was just fun--I enjoyed the mystery
    I want to read the BOOKS
    Season of Love made me hungry for great barbecue as well as remind me of love of family
    It was a good summer of movies
    PS I might add I loved all of the mystery movies too
    I wish Hallmark Mystery Channel would try to have a new one each week too.
    The combo of a fun romance and then a great mystery in a weekend is what I call relaxing .

  38. Pearl in Paradise for both.
    This movie was above average on all of Hallmark movies. The story/script was well written and the casts were well picked. Chemistry between the leads was awesome; contrasts between them was great that after spending time together, they get each other's habits which added some depth to the characters. Way to go Hallmark!

    ReplyDelete
  39. So hard to pick! I would say "Pearl in Paradise" and "A Summer to Remember". I enjoyed learning about the cultural aspects in both movies. I would say Pearl in Paradise was Jill's best Hallmark movie to date! "Season for Love" was cute too but it was just less unique and a typical Hallmark story-line.

    Love at Sea wins best poster! The Penavegas look perfect and gorgeous!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I finally got a chance to see all the Summer movies- so I can say my favorite finally is Love at Sea! I've watched it almost every time it's been on, and I agree with CH Mom, the PenaVegas are gorgeous! I pick Love at Sea for best poster too!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I watched all the movies twice and came up with a conclusion:
    Pearl in Paradise was the best 2018 HC summer movie.
    You can either believe that both leads are astounding actor/actress (which I do) or both went into the movie without a script but just lived their parts. That's how it comes across. They were so good together. Thanks for all you do, Net.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hands down, Pearl in Paradise topped them all.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Pearl in Paradise was the best. Have watched it about 6 times. Love the movie and hope they put it on dvd. Also, I liked Love At Sea. RG
