Budget Travel's Movie Quest 2006

Budget Travel Online wants people to submit and vote for the movies they found inspirational. They have done that in 2005, they want your suggestions in 2006. Slogan: "The 10 films that are inspiring us to travel--and how you can re-create the best moments yourself".

Since this is supposed to be an annual list from the movies released that particular year, I find the idea of proposing 10 movies a bit exaggerated. There are not many movies out there that would truly inspire us to travel.

Case in point, Match Point, which made the Budget Travel Movie Quest 2005 list. Aside from being captivating in a disturbing way, the movie did not entice me a bit to go visit London. But alas, I risk being unfair and unbalanced.

Here's their top 10 for 2005 - read and make up your own mind.

10. Sahara
9. Match Point
8. Grizzly Man
7. Everything is Illuminated
6. Duma
5. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
4. Brokeback Mountain
3. Memoirs of a Geisha
2. Pride & Prejudice
1. March of the Penguins
