I was looking for a new movie to watch on Netflix, and I came across one I hadn’t heard of, Changeland, starring Seth Green, Breckin Meyer and Brenda Song. The movie is about a man, played by Seth Green, who finds out his wife is having an affair, so he invites an old friend, Breckin Meyer, to accompany him on a trip to Thailand he had planned for his wife. While I can’t recommend the movie for its plot or fine acting, I did enjoy the gorgeous scenery of Thailand.

So that got me to thinking that my list of movies to watch should include those with beautiful scenery. I came up with a list of 10 movies to satisfy my desire to see new places:

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty — Most of the movie was filmed in Iceland, with a few scenes from Greenland.

The Lord of the Rings — Shot in New Zealand

Mamma Mia, and Mamma Mia Here We Go Again — Both shot in Greece with beautiful backdrops of Skopelos, Skiathos and the Pelion coast

Couples Retreat — Shot in Bora Bora

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel — Filmed mainly in Rajasthan, with Jaipur’s majestic City Palace in India

Blue Crush — Filmed on Oahu, Hawai’i

Into the Wild — If you want to see incredible landscapes of Alaska, this is a good one to watch.

The Way — A movie about traveling the Camino de Santiago Trail in Spain

Under the Tuscan Sun — You’ll want to add Tuscany, Italy, to your bucket list after watching this one.

Out of Africa — An oldie but goodie that will leave you wanting to plan your next trip to Africa
