Before plunging into the world of beauty, answer one question: "What inspires you to travel to this or that country?" It turns out that some tourists go on a visit to a certain country in order to get acquainted with unusual traditions, someone wants to see local sights with their own eyes, and still others choose the place of the visit, focusing on the possibilities of their personal budget. about the choice of a place for the next trip, who does not know which country to devote a vacation to. After all, I want to have a full rest and make a rather boring excursion program. In this case, films will help you choose a country for a tourist visit. Let's dwell on the top ten films that are worth watching for all tourists who intend to visit one of the countries of Europe. Watching some films will become a catalyst for a trip to one of the European countries, will be able to show every potential visitor all their advantages and benefits.
On a visit to France
For all those wishing to see Paris, it will be useful to watch the films "Midnight in Paris" and "Chocolate". The first film tells the story of a young couple who came to the capital of France for new sensations. The film boasts a rather unusual plot with a touch of science fiction. The main character, who dreams of being on the streets of the French capital of the 1920s, miraculously gets the opportunity to realize his old dream and meets his idols at night - Dali, Hemingway and others.
The plot of the film, although simple, will still appeal to many connoisseurs of romantic comedies from one of the recognized "masters" - Woody Allen. Viewers will be able to put themselves in the shoes of the main characters and answer their question about what kind of life - modern or past - will suit your taste more.
But the plot of the film "Chocolate" will take the audience to a small French town in the early 50s and 60s of the last century. The measured life of a provincial corner is disturbed by the sudden arrival of an unusual couple - Vienne and her daughter. They, unlike the overwhelming majority of residents, do not attend church and do not follow local traditions. On the contrary, on the eve of Lent, they open a small sweet shop, the main dish of which is chocolate prepared according to a special recipe.
The mayor of the city is ready to go to any lengths to turn the locals against intruders, but the number of visitors to the shop is increasing every day. The plot is rather confusing, but it will be useful for those who intend to visit the provincial towns of France.
Swedish holidays
To all tourists who have long cherished the idea of visiting Sweden, we recommend watching the film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". How will this action-packed detective story be useful for tourists? It's just that beautiful snowy landscapes will flicker here and there on the screen, taking us along with the characters from one street of Swedish towns to another. And along with this, all viewers will be in anticipation of an interesting denouement of a confusing film.
Also for the newly minted fans of Sweden it will be useful to watch the movie Let Me In. The plot is based on an unusual story of a teenager who is forced to endure the cruel antics of his peers. One day he befriends the girl Eli, who turns out to be a vampire. The romantic horror film has won many film awards at various festivals and competitions. Thrilling scenes were filmed against the backdrop of the wonderful Swedish winter landscapes.
Holidays in Italy
Before a trip to sunny Italy, every tourist should taste the delights of the movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley". The audience will be transported to Italy in the 50s. An unusual story with a psychological connotation tells of two young men. They are completely different: one is an ordinary guy with his dream, the second is a real "dandy" who wastes his father's money. As a result of the murder, Tom Ripley takes the place of the American spender, successfully posing as him. This is where all his talents are revealed in full measure.
Another film about Italy will be no less interesting. It's called Romeo and Juliet (1968). As many of us know, these two heroes of the Shakespearean novel lived their entire short life surrounded by enmity between their families. The events take place in one of the provincial towns of Italy. Lovers who see no other way out of a difficult situation of blood feud, decide to cut off their young lives in order to be together at least in the afterlife.
This tragic story still excites the imagination, allowing you to know all the true power of love.
Getting to know the UK
Films that reveal all the charms of Great Britain include: "American Werewolf in London" and "Match Point".
The first film is a prominent representative of the comedy horror genre. It turns out that in the "old lady of England" there are still many places, a walk along which can cost your life. And the main characters of the film were warned about this. But after all, American tourists always do not have much. Therefore, they boldly walk towards unusual adventures along the road, which is illuminated by the bright light of the full moon. This is where their cheerful mood ends. Indeed, instead of two overseas comrades, a ghost and a bloodthirsty werewolf will now walk the streets of London.
Well, the film "Match Point" from the previously mentioned Woody Allen, and even with the main character in the person of Scarlett Johansson, will completely complement the existing knowledge about England. A famous tennis player, who is going through hard times, meets a “femme fatale” with whom he falls in love. But what should he do, because the girl is already dating his close friend. Will the athlete be able to get out of the awkward situation or should he give up all attempts to win the love of his life?
The scenes of the film are full of unusual landscapes of Great Britain, which further accompanies falling in love with this beautiful country.
But this pair of films is clearly indispensable for all fans of London and its environs. For a more complete description of Great Britain and for the formation of a full understanding of this country, you should definitely look at another interesting picture called "Trainspotting". This picture will show Great Britain from a different, unusual side for many. Every day of a group of drug addicts is reduced to aimless living. They spend everything for one injection.
Who said that developed Europe is far from drug addiction and other human vices? This film will change your whole idea of this country.

The above list is not limited to the number of paintings that help to look at the countries of Europe from a different angle. Every potential tourist who wants to plunge into the world of sights and see with his own eyes the intricacies of local life will be able to find a film suitable for viewing. For example, more information about Spain can be found in the movie "Vicky Cristina Barcelona".
The plot revolves around an unusual story of two US students who decided to spend their summer holidays in exciting Barcelona. In addition to the temperamental Catalans and marvelous landscapes, the head of the students is occupied by the young artist Antonio. But the main highlight of the film is the absolute opposite of the morals of the girlfriends. Vicky is one of those girls who are old-fashioned and in a serious relationship. And her friend Christina is sexually liberated and is her complete opposite.
For Antonio, the choice between two passions turns into a real torment.And when the relationship comes to a standstill, the artist's ex-wife appears on the horizon, who for some reason decided that she still has the rights to the artist.
