Unfortunately, we can\u2019t travel as much as we\u2019d like right, however, there are other ways that we can still get out of the house. How? Through movies or literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s post, we\u2019re going to recommend (or remind you about, if you\u2019ve already seen them) some movies that allow you to travel without even getting up from the sofa. What\u2019s the first one that comes to mind? For us, it\u2019s…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Roman Holiday<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A true classic and one of the most beloved Audrey Hepburn movies. It\u2019s definitely the best way to visit Rome, the Eternal City. The movie shows off every corner of the Italian capital, always from the perspective of Princess Ann, the role played by Hepburn that won her the Oscar for Best Actress in 1954.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Out of Africa<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our next classic movie takes us from the middle of Europe to Africa, with Kenya as the setting. Starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, the movie was masterfully directed by Sydney Pollack, earning him seven Oscars in 1986, including Best Picture and Best Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Manhattan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is undoubtedly one of the best films from Woody Allen, a director who is truly in love with New York City.\u00a0 Starring the director himself, the movie invites viewers to get to a first-hand look at the Big Apple. It was made in 1979 and also stars Diane Keaton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Lost in Translation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving on to a more recent classic is the movie from Sofia Coppola that came out in 2003 and mostly takes place in Tokyo. Starring Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, it won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay in 2004. The movie provides insights into the lifestyle of people living in the Japanese capital, one of the world\u2019s most cosmopolitan cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Sideways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We couldn\u2019t finish our selection without including a film about wine, so we just have to include this wonderful comedy with Californian vineyards as the backdrop, set in one of the world\u2019s most interesting wine regions. Another more recent classic, this movie came out in 2004 and won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, that\u2019s our selection, but there\u2019s bound to be many more. What about helping us to complete the list? We\u2019ll do another selection later, but with books instead. Sound good?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
