Movies that make you think VACATION!!

[Bran8778]

On our last cruise we booked a Cat11. Since we new that we would have a vcr in our room we decided to purchase some movies to take with us. We went to a place that buys and sells movies. My wife picked up a movie called CLUB PARADISE I still cant believe we almost put this movie back. It has become my ultimate vacation movie. Robin Williams, Peter O'toole and Rick Moranis really make this movie a good one.

I'm with you Freddie's Mama.

 

I thought "Captain Ron" when I read the topic before I even opened this thread! My husband picked it up in the $5.50 DVD bin at Walmart about 3 years ago and I harrassed him for buying such a stupid movie! After watching it a few times it quickly became a family favorite and we love it! It has Kirt Russell, Martin Short and Mary Kay Place and beautiful shots of the Carribean! It really gets me in the mood for a cruise...(but then again, what doesn't???)

We have been joking that our upcoming cruise with my husband's whole family is "The Griswolds Go Cruising"...I agree any Chevy Chase vacation movie would be my pick. "Oink, oink we'll be pigs!"...European is my favorite

 

HM on Inspiration 3/9/03

Sovereign of the Seas 8/17/03 (Just Mom and I)

Imagination 6/17/04 (w/ the Inlaws!)

[Jen Moreno]

Wouldn't it be great if they made

Carribean Vacation - the Griswolds take a cruise?

 

Is Boat Trip really good? I may have to check it out!

I dont know about a movie...

As for music, Jimmy Buffet always reminds me about cruises and beach vacations.

 

8/20 Carnival Glory

[GoinCruisin]

Cocktail with Tom Cruise... not as crazy about the movie as I am with the setting and the music Just saw 50 1st Dates and that did it as well... any movie with a good (preferably Jamaican) soundtrack always makes me long for vacation

 

 

Until the SINsational Cruise from the Bayou!

When I was a kid growing up, my parents always took us to Disney World. My family is now known as the "Griswolds" and my husband's family introduces my Dad to everyone as "Clark"!

Ship Of Fools.

This movie really doesnt make me think of vacation in the way that you mentioned. But on our last cruise everytime we walked into our cabin and turned on the T.V ,litterally every time the movie Castaway was on with Tom Hanks. To this date my daughter whom is now 19 cringes when she see's that movie, She just graduated two weeks ago and as a joke that movie was given to her as a gift since we are leaving on the glory June 19th. What I wouldnt do to have that movie playing when we walk into our cabin this trip.

Summer Rental with John Candy. I love that movie.

[Crazsea]

"Blame it on Rio" does it for me!

[GOTTA CRUISE NOW]

It can't be anything too serious for me. Comedy, romance, adventure all the way. (Everything you want from an actual cruise)

 

My list would include

"Weekend @ Bernies"

"Vacation" movies

"Indiana Jones" movies

"Romancing the Stone"

"50 1st Dates"

Or classics like "Some like it Hot"

I agree with "Out to Sea" and "Castaway". The scenes of the tropical island with all that blue-green water makes me think of cruising! Of course, the rest of the movie makes me never want to fly over water, which I haven't!

 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Chevy Chase "Vacation" movies do it for me......especially the Las Vegas one. I can just imagine myself driving down to the port and singing "Holiday Road". LOL I "think" that's the name of the song. Oh well!!
