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

Nov 21, 2024Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler
The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
