The other day I found myself saying, "You know where I really want to visit? Greece." Why? Because of that lovable hot mess Mamma Mia! [1] and the upcoming Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 [2]. Both are set (or, partially set, in Pants's case) on beautiful Greek islands with many sumptuous shots of white sands and sparkling azure oceans. It's like the ultimate product placement: I want to go where that movie is. Now.
Now Baz Luhrmann is fully embracing this idea of movie-as-travel-ad, and will help create a tourism ad campaign [3] to go along with the release of his film Australia [4].
I've already shared a few movies [5] that have inspired me to travel, so now it's your turn. Which movies have made you antsy to get out and see the world?
