A love story different from those we are used to, not passionate, but where trust and respect prevail; a film that teaches us that all travel sooner or later  must end.

Movie originally released in black and white, and later redistributed in technicolor.

This movie is not just a set of journeys and landscapes, but a real journey into the memories of the two main characters, made up of love, sadness, extramarital affairs, work and freedom.  And it is thanks to the nostalgia of their life together that Joanna (Audrey Hepburn) and  Mark (Albert Finney) remember why they loved each other so much in the past years. 

The first film of the famous trilogy directed by Robert Zemeckis. In this immortal classic Marty McFly (Michael J.

Speaking of travels and adventures, we cannot fail to mention Indiana Jones.

Describing this film is almost useless. The story of the Titanic is well known to all of us, but we couldn't not include this film on our list. 
The Titanic transatlantic, one of the most luxurious cruise ships  ever built, sails in 1912 with more than a thousand passengers. The difference between the social classes is evident, but it does not stop Rose and Jack, who fall in love in just a few moments. The journey will end in tragedy, taking the lives of many people and interrupting one of the love stories that most conquered us on the big screen.

Super funny comedy directed by Todd Phillips, in which a group of friends arrive in Las Vegas to celebrate the wedding of one of them. During the bachelor party, however, something happens that will put the marriage at risk.

In this film, every important event is laughed at, making every moment light and fun. Perfect to watch in company (better not before a wedding!). 

In this avant-garde film directed by Christopher Nolan, Leonardo DiCaprio plays "Dom" Cobb, an extractor (a professional who deals with entering people's dreams, through a complex machinery, to extract secrets) who will be forced to accept a dangerous mission never made before; he will have to undertake a journey into the subconscious in order to correct the mistakes of the past. The cast also includes Joseph-Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy, Elliot Page, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, Cillian Murphy and Michael Caine, an inevitable figure in every director's work. Friend traveler, approach this feature film without the expectation of fully understanding it, as with most of Nolan's films.

The technique of this film is quite particular, in fact it was created in Motion Capture. While there are no curses or unpleasant terms, it is still a film designed more for adults than anything else. It tells the story of a young reporter, Tintin, who by pure chance comes into possession of a model of a pirate ship, which will take him around the world in search of a mysterious treasure, in the company of the former captain of the ship itself. 

We have included in the list another beautiful Italian film, directed by Luigi Cecinelli.  Four boys with psychophysical problems are spending the summer in a rehabilitation facility; fed up with everyday life and never having enjoyed life because of their problems, they decide to steal a car and leave for Ibiza. Along the way they will be tested by themselves, learning however to live with their illness and finding (and making) love for the first time.  

We would like to tell you, Friend Travel, that this is one of the films we watch most willingly. A story capable of restoring self-confidence, thrilling and entertaining at the same time. 

Directed and starring Ben Stiller, the film tells the story of Walter Mitty, a gray employee who makes mental journeys very often, dreaming of experiencing exciting adventures and exciting love stories. A mysterious letter, however, will force him to travel around the world to correct a mistake and save his career. 

The only reason this movie is on the list is because the main character is Dwayne Jhonson, (better known as The Rock), and Desi would never have agreed to publish this article without a hint of her first love.  This film is a sequel to the original Jumanji (starring Robin Williams); is directed by Jake Kasdan, and tells of a group of high school students who, trying an old video game, find themselves catapulted into it. To get out of it they will have to pass several tests, but they will find themselves having to solve a much greater mystery.

Detective Hercules Poirot, who got on the train at the last minute, finds himself imprisoned in his work, after promising himself a long vacation. He doesn't know that this case will stick to him, forever changing his way of seeing things.

Musical film directed by Oliver Parker. Dear traveler friend, if you've seen the first Mamma Mia, you can't miss this sequel / prequel. In fact, the film is a continuous succession of past and future events, telling of the journey undertaken by the young Donna (Lily James) to get to the island of Kalokairi, and at the same time how the hotel has changed since the management passed to Sophie (Amanda Seyfried).  On the notes of Abba's songs, a perfect film to watch before a trip, to enter a more adventurous and libertine mood.

And finally, another Italian mast, directed and starring Checco Zalone. After the bankruptcy of his restaurant, Checco finds himself overwhelmed by debts, and to escape from creditors he decides to take refuge in Africa. In a moment of madness, he decides to destroy his passport, so that to return to Italy he will have to follow the same route (and struggle) as the immigrants. This is a film, yes, very funny, but it is mainly a mockery of a country (ours) that is still too closed  and not very human.
