The best thing to watch during the heatwave are films about heatwaves. I am thinking of films that really capture the simmering atmosphere -- for me, thrillers like 'Body Heat' with Kathleen Turner and William Hurt, or the remake of 'Cape Fear' with Robert de Niro, or Spike Lee's 'Do the Right Thing' are real classics of the genre - where the heat is practically another character in the story. Another piece that springs to mind is Frank Miller's 'Dark Knight' but obviously that was a graphic novel, not a film.
I'm interested in films that really capture the atmosphere of relentless summer heat. But please suggest any genre of film.

Stand by me.
A film based on 4 teenagers who hike 20mls to see a dead body, very powerful film set in summertime in the 60's usa.

"In the Heat of the Night" isn't too bad (if you're looking for some sweaty cops & whirring fans)....but the already suggested "Do The Right Thing"; "Summer of Sam" & "Ice Cold In Alex" are probably the best.

I think Summer of Sam get the atmosphere across quite well.

Although The Day The Earth Caught Fire is not the best it should make you appreciate how relatively cool we are.
