41 Movies to Watch If You're Dreaming of Italy (Condé Nast Traveler) - Page 2

Italy has produced—and inspired—some of the greatest cinema of all time. Among its key players, you'll find directors like Federico Fellini and Luca Guadagnino alongside actors like Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni (and quite often, the American Gregory Peck). But when we asked our editors what their favorite Italian movies were, their choices went far beyond the classics. Below, you'll find picks like the mid-'90s rom-com Only You and Netflix's Two Popes—and lots of Tilda Swinton. (Plus Lizzie McGuire, of course.) Yes, the scope of our picks are broad—there are movies in Italian, filmed in Italy, or just set in part in the boot-shaped country included, but they'll all transport you to the bustle of Rome, the rolling Tuscan countryside, the luxe Lake Como, or beyond in no time.
