With the Academy Awards this weekend, we wanted to list some films that made huge impressions on us through their locations. Impressions that weren\u2019t always positive. In these films, the portrayal of a place could be flattering, or it could be filled with darkness and hostility. It doesn&#8217;t matter. The more foreign the circumstances, the more powerful the intrigue. The more complicated the relationship between character and setting, the more relatable it can be. Just look at ol&#8217; Barry Lyndon up there. He looks miserable. But the paint color in that room would look perfect in our kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>Below, a list of nine destinations and the films that made us most curious about them. Nine, because it\u2019s less than ten, which is five too many movies to be nominated for Best Picture.
