Favorite Films Set in Prague

With this installment, my cinematic journey through places I will visit in Central Europe for 2012 is complete. Previously, I mentioned my favorite films set in Vienna. Today I am going to focus on Prague, Czech Republic. When I say ‘focus’ I may be exaggerating a bit; in fact, I have only come up with one film that I have seen (and really liked) which are set in Prague.

 

Casino Royale (2006)

The film that made me think twice about the 007 franchise. I was never a HUGE fan of Bond films, but I was more than greatly entertained by this film. From the start, the action was non-stop and kept me on the edge of my seat. Prague was just one of several locations where the film takes place.

 

Honorable Mention: Mission Impossible (1996) This receives an honorable mention mainly because if memory serves, I did enjoy the film at the time of its release, but over the course of the years, my interest had waned a bit. So I cannot technically count this as a ‘favorite.’

 

Can you think of any other films set in Prague? They do not have to be in the English language.

      By all accounts it is a lovely city you would think a whole lot more films would shoot here.

    I’ve always wanted to visit Prague and my colleague is going there in Spring, I’m so jealous!

    I LOVE Casino Royale, but I can’t think of other films set there so I had to Google it 🙂 http://www.myczechrepublic.com/czech_culture/filming_locations.html – apparently a lot of movies are filmed there.

    Out of the list, I like Everything is Illuminated and also Bourne Identity, where Prague was used as a sub for Zurich.

      Hey Ruth

      Thanks for the link. I was reading through some of the notes and it looks like not many films shot in Prague actually use Prague as a location (i.e. it doubles as another locale). I guess it can get away with that because of its architecture and all.
