<BR>After seeing 'Enchanted April'- about a group of women renting a villa in Italy- my husband and I rented a villa on Lake Garda. We've been back 5 times.<BR><BR>Also, 'Out of Africa' made me yearn for africa.

Ah--just saw that Tavernier film last week (and I think I've forgotten the name already). Could it be "A Sunday in the Country"? something like that. . .<BR><BR>Others include: Autumn's Tale (Rhone Valley), Summertime (Venice), Cyrano de Bergerac (Depardieu version, filmed in Uzes, I think), Blue (Paris), Local Hero (Scotland), Waking Ned Devine (Ireland).

"Only You" with Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey, Jr.--it's a sappy love story but it had Venice, it had Rome, it had Sorrento(?I forget), most of all it had American drivers getting lost in the Italian countryside and we musn't forget the NUNS! <music: Hallelujah!><BR><BR>Also, this is quite common, but still a delight: "Roman Holiday!"

Lynn, just as a friendly FYI. The Talented Mr. Ripley is based on a book by Patricia Highsmith. Although it was often called "Hitchcockian" by film critics, it is not a remake of a Hitchcock film, I don't believe. Am I wrong on that?

All of them.... <BR><BR>And to add to the list: "An American in Paris", "Gigi", "Funny Face", "Royal Wedding" (I've been watching lots of old musicals lately!) "Bridget Jones Diary", "About a Boy", "Persuasion", "Gosford Park", "Il Postino", "Cinema Paradiso" and pretty much anything else set anywhere in Europe outside of wartime.
