Movies that make you want to travel!
7/12/2010 at 11:51 AM
Movies transport us to places we might not get to visit - we see the most alluring parts of a city or country and dream about going there. Here are some movies that inspire travel:
The English Patient. Filmed in Tunisia and Italy, the movie flashes back and forth between exotic desert landscapes and the charming Tuscan countryside.
Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. In the first movie, two young travelers spend a night exploring romantic Vienna, Austria. The movie inspired a sequel set in Paris.
Under the Tuscan Sun. An American woman renovates a villa in Tuscany, Italy.
Sideways. Two buddies visit the sun-soaked vineyards of California's wine country.
Enchanted April. Four women rent a castle in gorgeous Portofino, Italy, in the 1920s.
Out of Africa. Waterfalls, mountains, grasslands and rivers flash by as two characters fly a small plane over Kenya. The film is a great taste of what it's like to go on safari.
James Bond & Bourne movies. From the Bahamas and Italy in Casino Royale to France in The Bourne Identity to Morocco and Germany in Bourne Ultimatum, these movies are like postcards from dozens of fascinating places.
Lost in Translation. Set against the dazzling backdrop of Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan.
Have you ever been inspired to travel somewhere because of a movie?
What movie was it and where did you go? (or want to go to???)
