Here's my 20 favourite movies where characters go on vacation or travel away from home, loosely ranked. This list is part of Letterboxd's Showdown lists.

It's difficult to define what makes a vacation movie, so I've gone for any movie where a key character (or characters) spends significant time away from their home. I've excluded work heavy vacations (e.g. military, detective work) but included certain non-holidaying vacations if they aren't too taxing (medical, writing / journalism, family matters). Either way, this is pretty arbritrary.
