And the award for Best Travel Movie goes to ...
28.05.2020 23:56
There isn't an actual Academy Award for best travel movie.

But there should be.

That's because while Oscars Best Picture nominees might make us want to go to the movies, what they really make us want to do is pack a bag.

From not-so-jolly-olde England to the American South to the Middle East to a fictional hotel reminiscent of an Eastern European capital, the locations of the 2015 Oscars Best Picture nominees once again span a beautiful globe.

But which one wins our award for most suitcase-worthy?

"American Sniper"
Fallujah.

Sadr City.

Ramadi.

There are pieces of Southern California thrown in and the actual filming locations in Morocco are dramatic, but director Clint Eastwood's powerful story about U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle's four tours of duty in the Iraq War mostly makes us grateful to be sitting right where we are, in a comfortable theater seat.

Get a drink at: O'Malley's on Main in Seal Beach, California, where the bar scene in which Kyle (Bradley Cooper) meets his future wife Taya (Sienna Miller) was filmed.

O'Malley's on Main, 140 Main St., Seal Beach, California; +1 562 430 0631

Aspirational travel rating: 0 suitcases

"Whiplash"
Whiplash is a 107-minute drama packed with heart-pounding drumming as well as intimidating verbal abuse.

Lights shine upon Andrew (Miles Teller) when fearsome but reputable conductor Fletcher (J.K. Simmons) recruits him to join the band at an elite music academy.

Visit the fierce training session: In your head. Almost the entire movie is set indoors at the fictional Shaffer Conservatory of Music in New York City, which was actually filmed in a shabby building in Los Angeles.

Feed your jazz bug at: Carnegie Hall in New York -- a rare instance in which "Whiplash" used a real life location to shoot.

The JVC Jazz Festival scene -- the event where the intense finale takes place -- was filmed there.
