Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Woody Allen, 2008)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This popular movie by Woody Allen is set entirely in and around Barcelona. The Barcelona airport, Parc Guell,<\/strong>\u00a0Parc de la Ciutadella, Sagrada Familia and Las Ramblas all played the stage for Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson as they fight for the heart of Javier Bardem. The New York director has proclaimed his love for Barcelona, where he lived (in the neighborhood of Port Olimpic) during and before the shoot.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All about my mother\u00a0(Pedro Almod\u00f3var, 1999)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A Spanish director who achieved international fame, this is one of Almod\u00f3var\u2019s most popular movies. It uses some of Barcelona\u2019s truly iconic places to shoot this comedic melodrama about the female universe. The scenes are set mainly around the Palau de la Musica, a building that is emblematic of Catalan modernism, with the final scene shot in the cemetery of Montju\u00efc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Biutiful (Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez de I\u00f1\u00e1rritu, 2010)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

By the winner of two consecutive Oscars for The Revenant and Birdman, Biutiful shows a very different Barcelona than most visitors will see. I\u00f1\u00e1rritu shows a marginal neighborhood and the difficulties of some of the city\u2019s most disadvantaged inhabitants \u2013 illegal immigrants. It includes lots of scenes shot around Ciutat Vella.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Passenger\u00a0(Michelangelo Antonioni, 1975)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This film by the Italian director presents a stunning picture of the Barcelona prior to the Olympic Games in 1992 \u2013 recommendable for anyone interested in the city as it was before the big tourist boom that followed the Games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

REC (Jaume Balaguer\u00f3, 2007)<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

This potent \u201cfound footage\u201d horror movie takes place at number 34 of the Rambla de Catalunya. Anyone who likes to feel a chill at night can watch this movie then stay at one of the neighboring hotels. <\/span><\/p>\n
