We leave in 14 days for our family vacation to Italy. The kids have never been. What are the best movies to watch to get the kids more excited about our trip? Our nine-year-old is rather ho-hum about the whole thing. Apparently he's afraid he'll have to learn about history while he's there. Kids.
Last year my husband and I watched Godfather and Roman Holiday before our first trip to Italy. We did the Godfather tour in Sicily and of course the scenes of Rome in Roman Holiday are wonderful.
This year we've watched The Incredible Mr. Ripley to see the scenes on the Amalfi Coast and in Venice. We also just watched Gladiator. Is there anything else that you can recommend that we, or our kids, might like?
