As our editors get set to stay in Hong Kong for the summer ahead, we list some of the films and TV shows that transport us home – and to places further afield
Travel is still not looking likely for next few months, so along with dreaming of the destinations and hotels we'll be heading off to in the future, we're relying on the magic of cinema to transport us to locations far and wide. Whether we're missing home, feeling nostalgic or getting inspired for that next international trip, here are the movies and TV shows our editors watch when we miss our favourite places.

Brideshead Revisited, Paris Is Burning, Kids and Sex and the City
Maybe it’s because everything feels like it’s changing so quickly right now, but the places I’m missing the most are places that feel like they’re forever—cities steeped in history that always feel familiar and comfortable, no matter how long you’ve been away. When I miss Oxford, I’ll watch binge-watch Brideshead Revisited—the 1981 ITV series starring Jeremy Irons. When I miss my hometown, New York City, I’ll put on Paris Is Burning, Kids, or even Sex and the City when I’m nostalgic for the 90s.—Danica Lo, Chief Content Officer
