We (family with teens)are visiting friends in London and taking the Eurostar to Paris for a few days. I love seeing places that I'm going to or have been to, in movies. Any suggestions???

For London and light movie-fair, (for teens), "Sliding Doors" with John Hannah and Gwynneth Paltrow.

Of course, Notting Hill.

And I adore Paris, but I haven't found a movie I could recommend...others will recommend Amelie.

I love Love Actually ... London at Christmas time is great.

for Paris, "Charade" and "Le Divorce."

there is a previous thread on Paris films--try a search and you'll find many suggestions.

Keeping with teh Notting Hill, Love Actually theme...try About a Boy

To put Paris in perspective: "Is Paris Burning?"

I loved "Forget Paris".

Especially with teens I'd suggest for London - Love Actually, What A Girl Wants, Bridget Jones, Notting Hill, Sliding Doors, Three Weddings and a Funeral, and About a Boy.

For Paris there are less in the way of recent movies but Before Sunset is great and also both versions of Sabrina. French Kiss with Meg Ryan anad Kevin Kline is mostly shot in the south of France but it has a bit of Paris. There's always the classics - Charade, An American in Paris, Funny Face, the Last Time I Saw Paris, Gigi. Le Divorce and Amelie have already been mentioned.

Amelie! Then watch it again when you get home. Then Buy it!

Before Sunset !!! Of course--you have to see Before Sunrise, the prelim, before you can see Before Sunset. They are both good, and will take you back to the days when you could fall in love with someone on a train while traveling through Europe and spend one night with them and never see them again (Before Sunrise), until 9 years when you run into them at a book signing in Paris (Before Sunset). Only one (Before Sunset) is in Paris. But be prepared for dialogue heavy movie.
