Friday 5: Movies to inspire your wanderlust

There are movies that tug at your heart, giving voice to your spirit of adventure. They show you a part of the world that you may have considered visiting, and bring it to life in a way that makes you want to pack your bag and head for the airport. 



It's not always the story that speaks to you, but the landscape that becomes a character you want to know better. 


If you're someone with a nomadic spirit, or someone in need of a new adventure, here are five movies that will feed your wanderlust and give you escape, if only for a rainy afternoon.


1. The Way



2. A Good Year


3. The Motorcycle Diaries


4. Out of Africa


5. Midnight in Paris



And 5 more because you can never have too much wanderlust...

6. Mama Mia

7. Vicki Christina Barcelona


8. Roman Holiday


9. Dan Brown Movies...The DaVinci Code or Angels and Demons



10. Under the Tuscan Sun




What are your favorite flicks that feed your wanderlust? Inspire me.

    1. Hi Dixx,
      It's a good one. They say the book is always better, but books can't capture the Tuscan landscape. Enjoy! And thanks for visiting! :-)

  2. This is a great list! I loved the movie where Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney drove around Europe in a convertible coupe and discussed their marriage! Can't remember the name.

  4. Love "Under the Tuscan Sun!" It's such a great movie. I'm also a huge fan of "Matchmaker" (the remake) as it takes place in beautiful Ireland. Chrystal @ YUMeating.com

    1. Chelsea, I think you'll like it. The book is great, but the landscape is grand...you just can't capture that in text. Enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by. Off to explore Chelsandthecity. :-)

    1. Hi Christy! I can't believe I forgot the Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. I own them both. They're favorites. Go figure. It's amazing what a movie clip can do for the mind. It's the perfect escape...or launch pad. :-) Thanks, again, for stopping by.

    1. Hi Kerry,
      I also enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love. I can't believe I forgot Before Sunrise (Vienna) and Before Sunset (Paris). I own them both. They're favorites. Go figure. And then the third is Before Midnight (Greece). Oh well...another list, another time. :-)
