Find the ultimate list of great travel movies right here. This post sums up 40 movies worth watching. Read why and watch the trailers.
I have used a few criteria to compile my list of movies. A travel movie’s plot should involve a movement from one place to another, at least for some of the characters. In addition, or as an alternative, the plot should be set somewhere else than where a character is familiar with. He or she will be have to be challenged by this fact. Finally, I must have seen the movie myself and I must have liked it.
The list of 40 great travel movies in four articles:
- Great Travel Movies (labelled “First” in the table below), with 20 movies placed in these categories:
- Romance, humour and self-discovery
- Dramatic road movies
- Action and adventure – pure entertainment
- Action and adventure: The intellectually challenging movies
- Sci-Fi travel movies
- Lone man or woman off to discover the world and him-/herself (Label “Solo”)
- Two or more people off to discover the world and themselves (Label “Two+”)
- Travel movies set in one location, with existential consequences (Label “One loc”)
The categories overlap and may be considered irrelevant. The following table lists movie titles with links to my articles, to the listing on IMDb (International Movie Database) and to a trailer on YouTube.
You may sort and search the table as you like. So here it is, the ultimate list of great travel movies.
