Best Holiday Movies

The temperature outside and last days of school are the signs of incoming summer, but for those of you who don't feel it yet, I've selected a short list of movies that give you the summer vibe:

DIRTY DANCING: this classic has become must watch. The touching love story, lots of music and dancing, and of course: Patrick Swayze. I can't describe this position on my list, you just simply must watch it.

EAT, LOVE, PRAY: an adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's bestselling novel. It's a story about a woman that travels in search of love, balance and happiness

MAMMA MIA!: what's better than Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth and many other huge stars, all together on one screen, surrounded by breath taking Greek landscapes, singing and dancing to the greatest Abba's hits?

UNDER THE TUSCAN SUN: a romantic comedy about a recently divorced woman who buys an old villa in Tuscany and it's about to start a new life

ROMAN HOLIDAY: black and white romantic comedy with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck; about a princess that comes to see Rome; filmed on location shows all the most famous monuments of the Eternal City

Here’s the list of 8 that I find particularly different. 1. In Austria, parents threat their children with Krampus- the evil brother of Santa that comes overnight on 5 th and 6 th of December and punishes bad kids. He’s truly scary and has goat’s horns on his head. During this night we may encounter many people dressed as Krampus in the streets. 2. Japanese eat KFC on Christmas Day. 3. In India the traditional Christmas tree is a banana or mango tree. 4. Women in Czech Republic have a tradition to make some predictions or foretells during the Holiday.
