Condé Nast Traveler is currently holding a poll to pick the films released since July, 2005 that most inspired viewers to travel. The results will be published in their December issue, and one poll-taker will win a five-night trip to Cancún. There are some likely candidates on the list – Brokeback Mountain, The Constant Gardener, Pride and Prejudice. I’m rallying for a little-seen Chinese film, Mountain Patrol: Kekexili, that’s set in the remote Tibetan plateau and has some gorgeously bleak cinematography (see left). Alas, Snakes on a Plane was released in August, too late to qualify; it’ll just have to wait for next year.
