It's no secret that movies are a perfect—and maybe even the best—way to escape from reality. Had a bad day? Watch a movie. Need a laugh? Watch a movie. Feeling heartbroken? Watch. A. Movie. It works like a charm. That's the magic of cinema, people.
There are plenty of genres to choose from, but next to the humble comedy, adventure films are the easiest to stomach when you need a break from the real world. Below, you'll find 29 exciting journeys to take whenever you please. Climb aboard a shipwreck in Life of Pi, or take a trip to a coastal English town in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. If dry land is more your speed, join Indiana Jones for an archaeological quest, or help a crew of scientists ward off dinosaurs in Jurassic Park (though they should have never messed with prehistoric creatures in the first place). Hell, you can go to space if you want.
Your adventure awaits. All that's left to do is pick a route.
