I’ve seen Mission Impossible mentioned here a few times for it’s scenes in Prague, what about XXX, with Vin Diesel? Plenty of good scenes shot on location in Prague.

I just saw Amelie as well…based on some of your reccomendations. It was so popular…but I never got around to watching it until now. I liked it quite a bit…that Audrey Tautou is awesome…after seeing her fairly briefly in L’Auberge Espagnol…I was even more inclined to see Amelie…she can act..and what a face! She’s really beautiful. Whereas before I was indifferent to her being cast as Sophie in The Da Vinci Code…now shes going to be the part I nearly look forward to the most..solid casting choice there by Opie..

Most of mine have already been mentioned (a lot):

Amelie
L’Auberge Espagnole
Roman Holiday
Under the Tuscan Sun
Chocolat
Legend of Suriyothai
Tea with Mussolini
Russian Ark
La Dolce Vita

Dangerous Beauty (Beautiful Venetian scenery…always makes me wish I were back)

Vertical Limit

OK, OK…. for another kind of travelling but….still travell…even if in the mountains. And even if the movie was shot in South America, not in Himalaya.

all best,

Motorcycle Diaries nearly made me steal the motorcycle parked outside the movie theater and take off…

Ahmmm…. Cinema Paradiso, Amelie, this is a curious one, but Billy Elliot makes me wanna go back to the UK, although not much is shown in the movie, but it happens… And Road to Perdition gives me the tickles to go to Chicago.

Big blue(Grand bleu). Greece, Italie, beautiful!

I dont know if the travel mentioned was to Europe or just in general but if you’re talking in general you guys missed some good ones

Lawrence of Arabia
Gahndi
Easy Rider
The Mexican
Gladiator(mentioned)
Lost in Translation(mentioned)
and…………… the short scene in Rules of Attraction (also mentioned)

Check um out

hey user_name – I think Tatou’s best role is in "A Very Long Engagement", which came out last year, by the same director as Amelie. Check it out – the cinematography is fantastic as well. It’s set in France during WWI.

Thanks Hope, I’m going to return Amelie in a few hours – I’ll be sure to get that movie if they have it. I’ll write something in here after I see it.

le fabuleux destin d’amélie poulain
rules of attraction
stealing beauty
he bourne supremacy – the shots of berlin and moscow excite me!
human traffic

I tried to get A Very Long Engagement the other day…but they said the US DVD realease was July 12th…I’ll get it then…I ended up getting an Italian film called "The Sons Room" …its not like the movie is about locales and scenery…but you definitely get some..and the movie is good.

Before Sunrise is absolute garbage.

While the girl is certainly worth chatting up and pulling, Ethan Hawke is obnoxious, pretentious and insipid.

I thought "Annoying Seppo on a Train" was a better title than that one.

Teh girl and I are looking foward to mocking the sequel however.

For movies that make me want to go places, Captain Ron makesme want to sail, Ong Bak makes me want to get pissed and hop in a tuk tuk, everything fromHK makes me want to go there!

Oh, and Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring makes me want to go back to Korea and A World Without Thieves, China.

Angela’s Ashes

quote:Angela’s Ashes

Forgot about that one. No other movie inspires me to go to Ireland and drink pints of Guinness on a small child’s casket!

quote:Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring

Far and Away was filmed in Ireland (and America). I think in the Ring of Kerry, if I recall.

Old movies that make me want to go to France:
Diabolique (1955)
Les 400 Coups(1959)
La Grande Illusion (1938)
Touchez Pas au Grisbi (1954)
Contempt (1963)
Pepe le Moko (1936)(well, more Morocco than France)

As much as I like l’Auberge Espagnole, I’m a little skeptical about the sequel…here’s the website (in French) http://www.marsfilms.com/site/poupeesrusses/

Wow, newsflash: Eurotrip was not meant to have a formulated plot, smart dialouge, or interesting character interactions. It was meant to be full of potty humor.

Other than that:

The Transporter (French Riviera)
The Italian Job (Northern Italy)
Ocean’s 12 (Northern Italy, Amsterdam)
Basically every WWII movie ever made (Normandy)
After The Sunset (The Bahamas)
The Last Samurai (rural Japan)
Ocean’s 11 (Las Vegas)

For those of you who want to go to Nice: To Catch a Thief, with Cary Grant and Grace Kelly (who as Princess Grace of Monaco, later died whil driving on the same roads shown in the movie). Directed by Alfred Hitchcock, and great scenery around the Riviera.

Username, I’m glad you liked L’Auberge Espagnole!! I can’t rave enough about that movie. I think that, for anyone who has lived/studied in Europe as a young adult (or -if you’re from Europe, anyone who has lived/studied in a country other than their own) this movie really hits a soft spot. As you watch the movie, you re-live your own experiences and that’s why the movie is so appealing to many of us. I’ve read harsh criticisms of the movie online, but all these criticisms are from people who have never left North America and who interpret the movie as a European version of the Real World. That’s not what it was meant to be. It’s nice to hear from people who liked the movie.

I really need to see L’Auberge Espagnole[/i. Having studied abroad I think I would really get a kick out of it.

The movies I would say are Under the Tuscan Sun and [i]Amelie….

quote:What a gorgeous film, I loved the cinematography in it. Good call.

I have all of Kim Ki duk’s movies (except Coast Guard) – I’ll hook you up when you get here.

3 Iron is amazing too! But off topic!

Summer Holiday: starred Cliff Richard travelling around Europe in an old London Double Decker Bus, so I had to do it, I did 5 weeks taking in Portugal, Spain and Morrocco

Team America,

that opening sequence just makes me want to go to Paris!

Great thread, combines two of my favorites =)

most of these movies are great heres a couple more:

1. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants – has amazing shots of Greece!
2. An American in Paris

I think i’m going to have to watch Mission Impossible again i don’t really remember the locations.

just remembered another
The Sound of Music….I definetly plan on twirling and singing on the hills of Austria!

Some of you must have seen Band of Brothers.
Although it was mostly shot in England, there are some wonderful recreations of Dutch and German towns. Its amazing what they can do with stage and props these days.

I’d suggest earplugs if the sound of people laughing in hysterical fits bothers you.

lol doesn’t really bother me. However, I might consider taking some so they don’t have to suffer – i can’t really sing.

Not sure if it has been mentioned before, but The Count of Monte Cristo. I love that movie and it makes me want to visit Marsielle (sp?) and the Chateau d’If Prison.
