In the Sixties, movies studios needed just two things to sell tickets to teenagers — Annette Funicello and sand. The beach party movie was the definitive film genre for young Boomers.
There were dozens made, most of them by American International Pictures, as the party expanded to ski slopes and car races in later sequels.
Still, the beach — and the bikinis — were the key attraction here, not to mention several cameos from celebrities and hip musicians.
These beach party movies had kooky, clever titles. Let's see if you can fill in the blanks.
