My husband and I are planning a 2+ week trip to Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England. I have been before, but my husband has not. He is not a big Travel Guide reader (or anything else for that matter), so I thought I could get him excited and involved with planning the trip if I rented a few movies set in the areas we are visiting. (i.e. Braveheart for Scotland). Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Perhaps the acclaimed film 'The Queen'... has great scenic shots. Also, recently watched 'The Man Who Went Up a Hill and Came Down a Mountain' set in Wales. I understand that Dublin and other various Irish costal locals provide the shots for 'Far and Away'. Other suggestions include Harry Potter or Monty Python for a bit of variety. Hope you have an amazing trip!
