Since everyone was discussing this on DaVinci, why not share? I accidentally posted this on US; pick your fav. So one of my favorite things is the Tour de France and some of the awesome sights along the way. I usually tape it then go back and mark places that I loved. The photography is unreal. Not to mention bikers' buns. ;-)
"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" for that Schilthorn view...next..??

One that comes to mind is a romantic comedy, <i>Only You</i>, with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey, Jr. Nothing fabulous, but always makes me want to go to Italy.

The Amazing Race. I look at it first as a travel show second as a reality series. My main reason to watch is to get a peek of the various countries they go to. It has gotten me to consider places that were previously not high on my list or that I had not even considered traveling to.

P.S. In the movie, Only You, Marisa Tomei goes to Italy with no notice, no pre-planning, no reservations, and no worries about packing light. Just jumps on the plane in her wedding dress and a tote her sister-in-law tossed together. I think she has the right idea.

The early films of Marcel Pagnol enhanced my wish for a visit to Provence.
