Movies that inspire travel
I've been a long time reader of this forum, but this is my first post here. Thank you all for your great travel tips!
Now that the Oscars are almost upon us, I've been thinking about movies that have inspired me to travel. Amongst the 2010 nominees, Inception--all those lush depictions of dreams came along with icons of great cities like Paris--got my travel bug all riled up.
What movies in 2010 have inspired you to travel? What is your all-time favorite travel movie?

Nothing in 2010. Not even Cairo Time, which I enjoyed.
Older films:
Hidalgo - it made the desert look very beautiful. In some ways it had the same effect on me as The Wind and The Lion. I haven't been anywhere with that kind of sandy desert (only the Kalahari, which looks vastly different), so these films intrigued my desire to travel there and someday see it for myself.

I left a viewing of Enchanted April and went directly to a TA's office. It was a rainy day here that day too just like in the beginning of the movie.
A few months later I was off to Italy .....my first real trip to Europe and I was alone!!! I had a ball!!!

Actually was there last May when it was being filmed
saw Brad Pitt Smoking on his balcony
overlooking the Grand Canal and Johnny Depp and cute family
on his giant liveaboard yacht which was docked at Dorsoduro.
Best oscar to Venice supporting nod to the Grand Canal
and the Danielli Hotel all of which were awesome...
3 thumbs down for the acting no chemistry between the actors.
But Venice was AWESOME!

Thanks for all your ideas, everyone. I'll definitely be firing up Netflix (and all the airfare aggregator sites) with these suggestions.
suze, I agree about "Vicky Christina Barcelona"!
qwovadis, I'd love to share space once occupied by Johnny Depp. Maybe after I win the lottery.
Anyone else out there have a favorite movie that inspired travel?

Bit of a strange one but a movie actually from 2008 that i only saw last year 'In Bruges' with Colin Farrell and Ralph Fiennes. I have never fancied Belgium and the movie was filmed in winter so it looked very cold but i thought Bruges looked lovely anyway. Still haven't been yet but it is on my wish list.
