Hey Guys, believe it or no, there comes a time in everyone’s life when you are done with eternity of work commitments or simply need to relax and unwind at home or flight or anywhere else. And what could be better than watching some epic Travel films in the meanwhile. Here comes some of my favorite Travel Films of all time to keep the wanderlust alive in you.
Into the Wild (2007)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
This is a film for all the day-dreamers, searching for the real meaning of life. The concept – of an underachieving dreamer finally discovering the world – is something most of us can relate to. This movie is gorgeous and the cinematography is fantastic above all the characters are endearing, and you find yourself rooting for the lead.
Forrest Gump (1994)
Our Favorite Movie Forrest Gump is about a simple man with a low I.Q. but good intentions. Even after decades this movie is a delightful choice to re watch. Forest Gump is a powerful yet charming movie filled with humor, sadness, action, and drama. It is by far one of the greatest work of Tom Hanks. After the release Forest Gump in no time became a huge hit and ended up winning many Oscars.
Wild (2014)
Wild is about a chronicle of one woman’s one thousand one hundred mile solo hike undertaken as a way to recover from a recent personal tragedy. This movie is so popular among the travelers that every fifth person I met in Bali had already watched it. So the film is about one woman’s story of regret, healing, and ultimately about forgiving herself so that she could move forward. The movie also talks about self discovery and finding your true self. A must watch for all the hikers.
In Bruges (2008)
And now let’s talk about this amazing film – In Bruges. It is a 2008 black comedy crime film which shows us a breathtakingly beautiful city, without ever seeming to be a travelogue. It uses the city as a way to develop the characters.The film follows the denouement of a “job” gone bad for two Irish hit men, who are forced to hole up in Bruges, Belgium, and really can’t stand the inactivity. The forced waiting, a symbolic purgatory in both assassins’ struggle for absolution, gives Brendan Gleeson and Colin Farrell a chance to act through some marvelous comic dialogue.
Eat Pray Love (2010)
Let’s admit it, we have already seen it and have different views. Though the film has got mixed reviews, it stands tall as one of Julia Roberts best films. Here’s a little trivia – In the scene when Ian takes his clothes off to go swimming with Liz they are on an actual beach, while Ubud is a land locked town in Bali.
The Before Trilogy (1995-2013)
Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight, the three-part romance captures a relationship as it begins, begins again, deepens, while set in a spellbinding backdrop of exotic locations such as Vienna, Paris and Greece in Europe. The only problem is it ends. These movies are pure delight to watch and are satisfying at so many levels.
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)
Under the Tuscan Sun is about a writer who impulsively buys a villa in Tuscany in order to change her life. It’s a heart touching romantic story set in the backdrop of gorgeous Tuscany. And as the movie progresses with the charming views of rural Tuscany, you develop a wonderful relationship with the film. It keeps you hooked up with the lush Italian scenery, the colorful characters, the Romeo-and-Juliet romance between a lovely Italian girl and a Polish laborer. There is this another beautiful movie called My House in Umbria, worth watching
