Beach movies aren't really a thing anymore, but there was a time when Hollywood was churning out beach movies. These are movies that usually have the same theme and storylines about love found on the beach, and they were always a great time, filled with musical numbers and dancing sequences - and of course, bikinis. The movie Beach Party stars Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon. Those two were big stars in the ‘60s. In most of their movies, they are madly in love. It is all very wholesome. These days, a beach movie would involve a Tinder hook-up.
Even though beach movies are full of sex appeal with all the bikinis and dancing, Annette Funicello always wore a very modest bathing suit. In a way, that actually makes her more sexy because she's different from the other girls.
