I compiled a list of films to watch before an upcoming trip to Ireland. I find it helpful, interesting, and a good way to learn about a country, region, or culture. Also, it is a wonderful way to get excited and inspired about past, present, or future travel.
Even basic background and knowledge about a country and culture goes a long way when you travel. These days with Netflix and Amazon Prime, you can watch most of these movies from the comfort of your own home for little cost. I prefer to read books, but sometimes I don’t have a enough time to get through multiple novels before a trip. A few good films can do the trick!
