I remember the first time I saw Eat Pray Love I was ready to google flights and pack my bags straight after the movie was finished. There are so many amazing and inspiring movies that awaken that little travel bug. I thought it would be great to make a list of them and then use it as a check list to re-watch them all over again… I mean what else are you meant to do when it’s the middle of summer, you are 6mths pregnant and still battling horrendous fatigue, nausea & migraines?

I love this post as I have been inspired by many of these films! Lovely too to find a few new ones for me – thanks! x #thelistlinky
Some great movies in that list. I haven’t seen them all though so I shall seek some of those out. I have to say that I immediately scrolled up and down to see if you had Wild in there. As I read the book before I saw the film and that story is so inspirational and makes me want to take that kind of journey on.
Ah love Eat Pray Love! Glad to see it at the top of the list! Thanks for joining #ThatFridayLinky
Walter mitty for me
I’m obsessed with Audrey Hepburn, so I love Paris and New York. This is such a great post. I haven’t seen all the films, so I will check them out. Thanks x
I haven’t seen many so this is a great list when I’m looking for something to watch. Priscilla is one of my all-time favourite movies!
I’ve somehow only seen one of these films. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t travelled more!
Oh lovely movies, it’s a fab list, these were definitely give you the travel bug bite!
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a great one to inspire travel, really made me want to go to Norway, Iceland etc
Excellent post – I haven’t seen a lot of those films, so going to watch some of them – One that I really want to see is Eat Pray Love – I’ve seen the DVD cover before and it intrigued me, so put it on a list to watch

Mama Mia is one of my favorites.
A good list to be sure. I haven’t seen all of those, but the ones I have seen definitely gave me the travel bug (not that I need much help there.)
I’ve not seen so many of these! I’m definitely going to be watching some of these and probably making a list of places to visit!

James Bond movies inspire me to travel. Seriously cool places are shown in those movies! #BloggerClubUK
Definitely the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Not only amazing travel in an inspiring story, but also a great soundtrack!
