Gwyneth Paltrow says this is one of her fave films because it makes her yearn for the Cote d'Azur. "Whenever I see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, a total comedy classic, I get the urge to feel the breeze of the south of France in the summer."

Actor Orlando Bloom raves about New Zealand as a holiday destination. "I cherished my time filming Lord of the Rings here - it’s the most beautiful, magical place with great hospitality. I love places that are completely cut off from everything – where I can relax and enjoy the simplicity of nature."

This is the film that gets Colin Firth yearning for the sweet life. "'La Dolce Vita made we want to go to Rome and, if not jump into the Trevi Fountain, at least watch someone else do it. Maybe that's why I married an Italian...!"

When US Open Champion Justin Rose was asked to name the film that most inspired him to travel, he said: "It would have to be Casino Royale. I love the dramatic landscapes of the Czech Republic, which Martin Campbell cleverly disguised as Montenegro. They are so mysterious and different to anything else I see on my regular travels and would love to go there some day."

"For me, the film Manhattan defines New York," says professor Brian Cox. "Both New York and Manhattan Island should be in black in white! I always hear the soundtrack of Gershwin in my head every time I go over the Queensboro Bridge, or come in from JFK because of it!"

DJ Edith Bowman says she was moved by Into the Wild. "This film is a real journey of discovery. Since watching it I’ve done a few trips on my own and have always thought about it when I’m travelling. I love the adventure and the inspiration I take from it as well."

"'Planes, Trains and Automobiles is maybe the funniest film ever, but it reminds you that the journey is just as important as the destination," says actor James Corden.

Olympic medalist Louis Smith says: "The Hobbit has definitely inspired me to go and visit New Zealand. I want to check out all of the parts of the film, go and visit the Shire and see it all in real life."

"Travel is best when it’s as unplanned as possible so that you get that real sense of adventure. Thelma and Louise really encapsulates that – their travels are unplanned and spontaneous and therefore full of excitement, escapism and optimism," says actor Douglas Booth.

Actress Kara Tointon says: "The Sound of Music is one of my mother’s favourite films, and we watched it constantly while growing up. The opening credits transport you through these incredible crane shots flying through the Alps and over Salzburg before Julie bursts into The Hills Are Alive. Any chance to travel in the direction of one and I'm there."

"Watching Y Tu Mama Tambien transported me from Wales to a much more exotic and sunny place than I was used to," says Welsh actor Craig Roberts. "As a coming-of-age classic, it somehow symbolises travel as something you have to experience when you get that first opportunity of freedom and independence in your late teens."

Musician Jamie Cullum says: "Tampopo is a deeply odd film about Japan, ramen noodles, love and sex. It made me very hungry and desperate to travel to Japan. It started my love affair with this amazing country, its culture, its food, its cinema and made me buy my first ticket to the land of the rising sun."

"One of my favourite films is Breakfast at Tiffany's," says chief executive of BAFTA Amanda Berry. "It was released in the year I was born, it is an exotic and glamorous snapshot of that time. I love the views and the feel of the city the film gives us, from the Brownstones on the East Side, the splendour of Fifth Avenue to the truly unique and stunning Central Park. When I first visited in the 1980s the city didn't disappoint, and I still get that same excitement when I arrive in New York today."

"The scenery of Southern France in A Good Year is stunning and the charm and its laid back lifestyle are enticing," says England rugby captain Chris Robshaw.

Comedienne Ruby Wax says she was inspired by the romantic drama The Piano.  "It really made me want to see New Zealand. When I finally did it was every bit as jaw-dropping as it looked in the film. It's so virgin and green, it’s like God said ‘lets try again’ and he got it right this time!"

"As a kid, so many films made me want to travel", says writer Danny Wallace. "The New York of Ghostbusters, the Shanghai that Indiana Jones swung a few punches in. If I had to name one film that inspires travel, it would have to be ET' - especially if I could do it by flying BMX as he did..."

Presenter Emma Willis says: "When The Beach came out I had already been toying with the idea of visiting Thailand, but after watching the film I booked a four-week trip and travelled the islands. It was a phenomenal experience and even more beautiful in person than on the big screen."
