There are far too many great movies set in Asia to list them all, but I originally started this list as a top ten list. Then it was a dozen, then 20, and by the time I live streamed this, the list grew to thirty movies, not including the three movies I seriously dislike; Eat, Love, Pray, Bangkok Dangerous and No Escape. Perhaps Eat, Pray Love was made specifically for women, but I this is one of my least favorite movies. Not only movies set in Asia, but of ALL MOVIES! Maybe it was Julia Roberts praying and walking around in yoga pants, I don't know. Bangkok Dangerous...please, for anyone who knows a little about Thailand, the movie is way over the top. No Escape is another one of my least favorites because the director can't seem to decide on the country in which the coup took place. Without further ado...my top three favorites from my list: Saint Jack, Return to Paradise and Holly. Let me know your favorites. 1.
