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
— Tracey Cullen, art director

Sep 17, 2026High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture
It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
