Anyone seen a great travel/touristy movie?
So i recently saw In Bruges, thinking it was going to be lame, and I actually ended up loving it! I mean, Bruges is a great city, but the line collin farrel says about the only way to like Bruges was 'if he was from the country and retarded' was H-I-Larious! They like to rip on the Belgiums a bit, but I notice everyone in Europe tends to do that
Anyway, just was wondering if anyone else liked it or had some favourite 'destination' movies.

I think there are some other threads dedicated to this question... but to recap my favorite movies that, to me, capture the essence of travelling and make me want to hit the road:
1. Motorcycle Diaries (Latin America)
2. Before Sunrise/Before Sunset (Vienna/Paris)
3. Into the Wild (mid/western USA)
