7 Movies That Make You Feel Like You're Somewhere Else

In This Article:

Some movies have the ability to transport you to completely different places.

Amélie

Looking to brush up on your French? Or do you just have an overwhelming urge to leave your house and travel? Either way, not to worry… there are English subtitles. Amelie is a surprisingly un-corny story about a twenty-something waitress finding love in 1990s Paris. Pay attention to the fashion and the moody French soundtrack.

Casablanca

"Here's looking at you kid...." Yes, it's black and white. Yes, the characters have weird accents (even though they are supposed to be American). But this dramatic, wartime story truly transports you to 1940s Morocco.

Roman Holiday

Also black and white. I know. But trust me on this- Roman Holiday is one of the most iconic travel movies ever created. There are scenes shot at almost every famous monument and tourist attraction in Rome. Pay attention to Audrey Hepburn's outfits!

To Catch A Thief

This movie is an inspiring but forbidden romance that takes place in the beautiful French Riviera. Again, pay attention to the fashion!

Moana

Okay, I know it's a kid's movie… but it still makes you feel like you're in Hawaii. The quality of the animation is unreal.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

A very light-hearted movie that features some of the coolest destinations on earth: New York, Greenland, Iceland, Yemen, and Afghanistan. Watch it.

Rocky (all of them!)

Missing Villanova and Philadelphia? I'm sure we've all taken the SEPTA into 30th street to run up and down the famous steps. Rocky will take you back to an iconic, 1970s Philly that's totally different from the one that we know.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
