Into the Wild
One of my favorite movies about travel! Based on a true story, this film takes after Christopher McCandless as he tries to connect with real life and nature. After graduation, Christopher sets out on a road trip through the USA before winding up in Alaska. It reminds us that we all could simplify our lives and that travel is not about what we carry with us but about what we carry inside.

In Bruges (2008)
Where this Travel Movie Takes you: Belgium
This is awesome in light of the fact that many people never have motivation to travel to Bruges, despite the fact that it’s an amazing and noteworthy city. As Brendan Gleeson took in the history and read the guidebooks admiring the city, Colin Farrell just kept talking about how much he hated Bruges, which made me love it more.

This travel movie follows Leonardo DiCaprio (before he had a dadbod :D) in the gorgeous crystal clear waters of Ko Phi Phi Lee, Thailand. Those beaches, those parties, those people. It appeared to be superb. Backpackers in Asia are always reading the book, and the travel film plays in all the guesthouses.

It is a great reflection on the hopes and realities of travel.
Midnight in Paris (2011)
Where this Travel Movie Takes you: Paris, France
There have been a lot of travel movies shot in Paris, however not very many can nail it like Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris. Owen Wilson strolling around Paris moves to another world. In the same way as other travelers in the City of Light, he backtracks the means of Parisian creatives past, drinking coffee in the same places they once did—until, late one night, an auto of these extremely symbols shows up, clearing him back so as to a night of celebration among the literati of the 1920s. Sure it’s time travel, but past or present, Paris always enchants.
