Seems like some good films!

Finding oneself while traveling: it's a classic literary theme from Siddhartha to On The Road, and a somewhat overused trope in contemporary page-turners-turned-blockbusters.

But the process comes full circle when film adaptations inspire further adventure. Books such as Into the Wild, Lord of the Rings, and Eat, Pray, Love prompted spikes in tourism to Alaska, New Zealand, and Italy, respectively – and Wild, the film of Cheryl Strayed's memoir about walking the Pacific Crest Trail, which bagged Reese Witherspoon a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars, has scores of viewers rummaging in the hall closet for their long-lost hiking boots.

Seeking a little cinematic inspiration before planning your next trip? Here's what to watch on the silver screen this year.
