1. Two Popes
Surrounded by Rome, the Vatican is one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in the Italian capital. In this film by Fernando Meirelles, the Sistine Chapel, packed with visitors, is one of the settings for a good dialogue between Benedict XVI and his successor Francis (and you'd have to be the Pope himself to see the space empty).
Where to watch: on Netflix
2. Fellini, Il Maestro
