10 Travel Movies To Satisfy Your Wanderlust

Recommended to me by my sister and a friend, this brilliant adaption of the book, "Into The Wild" written by Jon Krakauer, portrays the journey of Christopher McCandless through the surreal wilderness of Alaska. A movie that talks about how he perished in a rustic (now iconic) bus and how he rejects materialism and living his life by a rulebook. Into The Wild makes you want to self-introspect life and in a way urges you to go out of your way to experience new things. The film also beautifully captures the glories of nature.

I think we can all agree with the fact that the first Mission: Impossible movie is the best, still. And Agent Ethan Hunt here needs no introduction. The first act of the film is shot in Prague which was a rarety in movies back then. The movie was shot in many parts of the UK and US thereafter. The following parts are shot in other parts of the globe including China, Italy, Germany and many more.

This movie is a hysterical account of a soon-to-be father who is forced into taking a road-trip with a man who wishes to scatter the last remains of his father in the Grand Canyon before moving to LA to become an actor. The story shows their rather hilarious road-trip and the plenty of catastrophes that happen when they're on the move. A classic Zach Galifianakis comedy film, watch this for a great laugh.

This one takes me back to the days I used to spend my entire summers just reading Agatha Christie's novels. This movie is based on one of the detective novels by her which features the famous fictional character, Hercule Poirot who solves a murder that happens to take place on a train journey. Murder On The Orient Express exhibits a three-day journey across the snow-clad mountains. While most of the movie is shot in Europe there are several scenes from New Zealand, mountainous regions on the borders of France and Switzerland. The movie is quite intriguing to watch with a lot of interesting characters.

Moving a little bit closer to home, Goa has always been associated with cancelled plans and trippy beach-side parties with EDM playing in the background. But there's so much more to Goa than just that. Coming back to the movie, Dil Chahta Hai single-handedly made Goa that one travel destination for all the youngsters of the country. A story of three friends and their journey on how they changed from being inseparable to becoming distant when something goes wrong. However brief (and entertaining) their road-trip to Goa might have been, it makes us want to visit that place for its serenity and gorgeous beaches.
