Share the knowledgeI like a pretty movie. Sometimes I can get past a silly plot or bad acting as long as the scenery is good. If the plot, acting, and scenery are good I am in heaven. Here are some movies that transport me when I can't jump on a plane and go. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - I didn't really want to watch this movie. I had nothing else to watch and I do love Kristen Wiig, so I figured I would give it a go. I am so happy I did. It was totally charming and the scenery is to die for. I also enjoy hearing Scandinavian languages so there was that. I also like accordian music. That has nothing to do with this movie but I thought you should know so you can decide whether I am qualified to recommend movies. Amelie - This is my favorite movie of all time. I want to be her. I want to live in Paris, skip stones on the canal, dig my hands into bags of grain, do good deeds...if you haven't seen it you don't know what I am talking about and you really need to get on that. It definitely makes me long for a France trip. Under the Tuscan Sun - Okay, okay. I admit this one is a guilty pleasure, but it makes me happy. It's light and fun and oh so pretty. How I ache for Italy when I watch it. Top of the Lake - This one is actually a mini-series but I couldn't leave it out. Not only is it a top notch mystery, but the New Zealand landscape is AMAZING. If you haven't seen this one I recommend you put on your comfy pants, get your snack situation in order, and prepare to hunker down for a few hours. After that you can call me so we can plan your trip to NZ. Into the Wild - This movie will make you want to scrap it all and hit the road. He does what a tiny part of all of us wants to do and the movie is visually stunning. In theory, I would love to do a mega-tour of Alaska and the Yukon, but I don't think I have what it takes. Do you?
