Saw the new movie from the people who made THE TRIP (THE TRIP TO ITALY)yesterday and Italy never looks lovelier except perhaps in ROOM WITH A VIEW where Florence blew us away. What is your favorite movie about travel?
We watched ROOM WITH A View recently again for much the same reason. Not disappointed. Westerns shot at Lone Pine in the Sierras are often handsome, whether in color or black and white.

Patti, I thought of A PASSAGE TO INDIA and EAT PRAY LOVE as well as Jeff's choice of THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL. Instead, I thought of films set outside India, like ROMANCING THE STONE which while being an action movie takes you to South America.
Hmmm... I hear "travel movie" and I don't necessarily think about a movie that relates a vacation set in a foreign country. I think movies about actual travel.

Oh, I thought A Room With a View was great!
ReplyDeleteA PASSAGE TO INDIA and MONSOON WEDDING, Prashant. And the three SUNSET/SUNRISE movies. Oh, and MIDNIGHT IN PARIS.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I've seen Room with a view. I know the title.
