Some of my favorite films are by the French actor/writer/director Jacques Tati. His physical comedy and quiet humor make his Monsieur Hulot character a cross between Chaplin's Little Tramp and Mr. Bean. Hulot is mostly silent, very friendly, and completely ridiculous.
In 1953's Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, Tati absolutely captures the sense of freedom we all feel during a well-deserved vacation! During his misadventures at the beach, Monsieur Hulot dresses like a pirate, crashes a funeral service, sets off about three tons of fireworks, and plays the most absurd game of tennis ever.

Nathalie Pascaud as Martine--isn't she adorable? |
What a charming looking film! Movies like this are an especially big joy to watch during the bitingly cold winter months, when - even if you're a fan of the season - it's especially nice to day dream about time spent on a toasty summer beach.
