It's a good movie, but MAN... graphic.

I LOVED "Everything Is Illuminated".

Two For The Road - Albert Finney, Audrey Hepburn and those fabulous cars .... especially the Alfa Romeo (our maque and passion).

Although not quite as 'cultured' as the previously noted movies, I adore Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo as the Griswalds in their Vacation movies. I laughed so hard watching European Vacation.

"Y Tu Mama Tambien" - Mexico as it should be shown; secluded beaches and coastal areas that just take your breath away.

"The English Patient"- Mezmerizing

"Dances with Woves"- the West of the US defines "majestic".

"An American Werewolf in London"

"Michael" - it made a road trip in the midwest US look like fun.

"The Motorcycle Diaries"- WOW!

I agree with "Two for the Road". Also, a microcosm of many marriages that survive.

"It Started in Naples"

"French Kiss"

"The Bourne Identity" and it's sequel.

"Braveheart" (OK, that's a stretch, but it made me want to go to Scotland)

most any Bond movie.

And my all-time fave,

"THE SOUND OF MUSIC"

Needless to say, I LOVED the Sound of Music tour in Salzburg.

PS Starrsy, I agree about Summer Lovers, it stunk, but wasn't the scenery in Greece magnificent??

Vacation - dead on with some road-trip stuff - hilarious.

Amelie - not a "travel" movie, but makes me want to hop on a plane every time I catch even a minute of it.

"Visions of Provence" and "Visions of the Riviera." Sigh.

"Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"

"On the Riviera," the one with Danny Kaye

"Murder on the Nile"

"To Catch a Thief"

and, of course, " If It's Tuesday It Must Be Belgium"

Along the lines of Underhill's Visions of Provence" and "Visions of the Riviera"...

"Visions of Italy: Northern Style and Southern Style" are wonderful! They feature them periodically on public television, but are available also at our local library.

There is another one called "Visions of Greece" that beautiful too. The music and scenery in this series is very good. They are great to watch for trip planning, as they give you lots of ideas, or also to relive a trip you've already been on!
