Summer is the season of escape, but Grecian islands and Hamptons beach houses aren't on the schedule for all of us. However, a certain kind of movie can offer an escape of its own. Waking Ned Devine takes you to a remote Irish village, while Spy is an adventure through Rome, Paris, and Budapest. When you need a pick-me-up, the right feel-good movie can transport you to amazing places.
It could be a film you've seen a million times or a universal favorite that you've somehow missed until now. It can be romantic, sentimental, or straight-out silly. Try Paddington for a sweet, family-friendly option, or Rushmore for a saltier pick. Or make a night of it with a Lindsay Lohan retrospective and queue up The Parent Trap, Freaky Friday, and Mean Girls. Read on for our recommendations on what to watch when you need a breath of fresh air.
