Into The Wild

Based on the Jon Krakauer novel which was based on a true story, Into the Wild tells the story of Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch), who upon graduating high school learns about the importance of connecting to nature and withdrawing from the corporate drones of modern society.

The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty

This movie is based on a book of the same name, and it centers around the titular Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller), a mild-mannered office worker going through a mid-life crisis. We watch him as he goes through a major breakthrough, deciding to turn his life upside down and see the world in the process.

The Lord of the Rings

Although the Lord of the Rings is a fantasy film (based on the epic J.R.R. Tolkien novel), the amount of hiking in this film is through the rooftop. If the picturesque rolling mountain views of Middle Earth don’t inspire you to leave your house, the various quirky characters will.

Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)

Based on a true story, the film Under the Tuscan Sun is about author Frances Mayes’ decision to uproot herself from New York City after a bad divorce. It gave audiences an inside look at Tuscany, the many olive trees, and all of the old villas just waiting to be renovated. If you’ve been thinking about renting an old villa and summering in Italy then you should watch this film. 

I Am Love (2009)

Instead of being set in the countryside, I Am Love takes place in the city of Milan. The film follows the fictional Recchi family and their opulent homes all over Italy. This will make you want to wander around the fashion capital, and summer on an estate.

Call Me By Your Name (2017)

No Italian movie list would be complete without the romantic drama Call Me By Your Name. The film is set in the Lombardy region, and it gives audiences a view of small Italian towns, an old villa, and of course, the romance that permeates Italy itself. 

You’re probably going to want to venture here with a significant other after watching these films.

Bruges is a quaint little city in Belgium that looks as if it is the setting of a fairytale. The film is charming for many reasons, but the authentic cityscapes add a lot to its timeless appeal.
