I have always desperately wanted to visit the land of Fantasia from The Neverending Story. I could save it from the Nothingness and the Empress would fall madly in love with me.
troy itself... despite the film it was a pretty well realized location and i've read 3 different versions of the Iliad plenty of times a-piece. big greek mythology fan
I must admit I chuckled at the suggestion of Essex, England -- unless you're dreaming of spending a weekend getting hammered on Stella Artois in sticky-floored pubs and dodging the assorted hen parties, I wouldn't recommend it.
I need to visit the place where they shot LAst Year At Marienbad (Nat, have you seen it?). I can't find where it is! but is GORGEOUS!! Also, how about that hooker pit in All about my mother... I wonder if that place actually exists.
Shangri-La - Lost Horizon (1937) Kent - A Canterbury Tale (1944) Heaven - Angels in America (2003) Bagby Hot Springs - Old Joy (2006) Isabelle's Palace - The Fountain (2006)
Definitly the Graveyard from the Closing Scene of The Third Man. The last frame of that film is unbelievably beautiful, its been my desktop for nearly all of time, and it has a sort of "Beatles Crossing Abby Road" feel with me. I feel I, at some point in my life, need to make a pilgrimage to that graveyard
I'd visit Toontown from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? That looked like endless very brightly-coloured fun. I'd get the Taxi(can't remeber his name)to give me a tour.
I've always thought it would be amazing to recreate the Parisian walk of Before Sunset with a partner. And perhaps a detour into Baz Luhmann's version of the Moulin Rouge.
The jail cell with Roberto Benigni, Tom Waits, and John Lurie in Down By Law, b/c I would probably laugh harder than I'd laughed in my entire life, and laughing is my favorite thing to do.
The town in Pennsylvania where Bill Murray experiences the same day over and over again, with Bill Murray as a guide to what will happen every second of the day
I love these answers! Enchanted April, Oz, Nancy-Meyers-land, recreating the Before Sunset walk (what fun).
I'd like to spend a weekend in Michael Hoffman's Midsummer Nights Dream, riding with Hippolyta (Sophie Marceau), drinking coffee in the the town with Kevin Kline, Roger Rees and Sam Rockwell, banqueting with Christopher Bale and Anna Friel, listening to Puck and Oberon trade bon mots (Stanley Tucci and Rupert Everett) and then sleeping in Titania's bower.
