When it's sunny I usually opt to watch a movie that mostly takes place in sunny conditions. For example, I watch Star Wars: A New Hope only during the Summer, never in the Winter and likewise I can only watch Empire Strikes Back in the Winter and never in the Summer. The other day it was overcast so I popped in The Goonies because that movie mostly features cloudy exteriors and I felt it was appropriate for the weather conditions. Back to the Future 2, another cloudy/rainy day movie but Back to the Future 3 is most definitely a clear day/Summer movie. The Boys From Brazil, another movie I can mostly watch only during the Winter. Blade Runner is another good rainy day movie for me since it's such a damp environment kind of movie. The list goes on but I think you get the point.
Music is a bit trickier. For me it mostly depends on what kind of mental image I have of the mood it puts me in. I'm a big jazz fan so something like George Benson's Breezin I only listen to during clear days, never in the Winter because it just reminds me of a sunny 70's album. On the other hand an early album by Grover Washington Jr. such as Winelight or Come Morning I only listen to during cloudy or rainy days. There's the obvious ones like Michael Franks' Tiger in the Rain but once I get to albums by the Stones or Floyd I usually listen to them any time regardless. The first Doors album is a Winter album while most of the rest are Summer or any time albums for me.
Ok so I know I'm weird(maybe it's because I was born on the first Earth Day and I'm such a nature boy) but does anyone else let the weather dictate what they watch or listen to?
