At the moment, it is complicated to plan vacations or long trips. This is why, in these moments, certain films can help to travel from our sofa.
The search engine for travelers, Holidu, had fun making its users travel from their couch. Since the health crisis prevents us from planning a vacation at the other end of the world, why not discover or rediscover the great classics of cinema that could well give us the desire to escape? To make this classification, Holidu, was based on several criteria: the number of awards obtained, the number of times the film was mentioned in the travel movie lists and the average rating obtained on the imdb.com site.
Around a hundred films have been studied. But obviously, many are those who could also have had their place in this ranking. Into the Wild, Wild, Travel Diary, Little Miss Sunshine, Spirit, The dream life of Walter Mitty, Aboard the Darjeeling Limited or The beach and Seven years in Tibet are also great films inviting to travel. We let you judge for yourself this selection concocted by Holidu.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
A trip to Middle Earth, that tells you? The trilogy of Lord of the Rings, film adaptation of the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, was filmed in New Zealand. Suffice to say that change of scenery, we are served!

Titanic
"Jack, I'm flying" : this replica is cult. Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio in Titanic made us vibrate in 1997. Certainly, Titanic is not the ideal film to make you want to go on a cruise. On the other hand, it perfectly transcribes this feeling of excitement before the big departure and the joys of new meetings. Titanicis above all a film that talks about getting out of your comfort zone!

Out of Africa
