As the global pandemic crisis continues, most global travel remains suspended with only a fraction of the world's planes flying — and most Americans still under shelter-in-place orders at home. That leaves travelers contained in their homes, looking for ways to be entertained, distracted, and inspired.
For many, that means sitting in front of a screen. As someone who loves to travel, and writes about it, I've been streaming movies that conjure favorite destinations, trigger wanderlust, or even spark ideas for travel when it's safe to get back out there.
Quarantine notwithstanding, movies have always had the power to transport viewers to far-flung places. Think spellbinding Kenya in "Out of Africa," beguiling India in "The Darjeeling Limited," or the sun-drenched Italian countryside in "Under the Tuscan Sun." It's all a chance — even through plot fictions — to access real-world places you might have only dreamed of, places that captivate and inspire.
Our picks for the best travel movies to stream right now include films formally about the act of traveling, such as "Wild," and those that inspire our imagination through filming locations, whether real like "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," or animated, like "Moana."
Picks are both modern and vintage, beloved by fans, and critically acclaimed. All that's left to do is kick back and let your imagination take flight.
