Movies That Move You

Every so often, a film encapsulates another culture so successfully that you feel you've been transported away on your own private jet (and sometimes even a time machine).

Here are my picks for "I'm having a crummy day, take me to another place and time" films:

• Under the Tuscan Sun
• Sabrina (both versions)
• The Painted Veil
• Empire of the Sun
• The Bourne Identity
  
• Vicky Christina Barcelona
• The Motorcycle Diaries
• Out of Africa
• Lost in Translation
  
• Bread and Tulips
• To Catch a Thief
• Coco before Chanel
• Julie and Julia
