Does Secret Life of Walter Mitty count? The remake with Stiller. It's been my go to since it came out. Cliche, but I identify with the protagonist. I havent gone around the world, but I live a lot in my head.

I'm very much someone who has wanderlust, and the film connects with me on a very deep level. I love it.

Annoyingly there are two versions of the film. One slightly longer version where all the pieces slot together nicely. There's also the British theatrical version was pre-cut during post-production to secure a PG rating. This version was the one released worldwide - and it doesn't make a lot of sense. Some key scenes are missing.

"Identifying with the protagonist" is why Tom Holland is my favorite Spider-Man. (to clarify I'm an 18-year old college freshman)

A lot of my most favorite movies are due to either that, or just something extra that really sucks me in (nostalgia, or something else indescribable). Most of the "great" movies that I've seen (Dark Knight, Forrest Gump, Back to The Future) are somewhere in the #25-35 range on my list.
