Anyone have any movies made near where you live? I know of a few:

- Dead Poet's Society was filmed at Cranbrook - 10 minutes away from my old house. It was before I lived there though.

- Somewhere in Time was filmed on Mackinac Island - it's pretty far from where I'm from, but all of Michigan goes there on vacation :D

- Tape (w/ Uma Thurman) was filmed in Lansing, right down the road from where I'm now sitting. Course, we didn't know about it until after they'd left :rolleyes:

- 8 Mile was filmed in Detroit. 8 Mile Road actually runs across several cities. My house was right by it (in a very different neighborhood!) :lol:

- A League of Their Own was partly filmed in Evansville, Indiana where I used to live. My parents remember it - apparently Madonna hated being in such a small town in the middle of nowhere. I was too little to remember it though.

- Ordinary People was filmed right by my parents' first home in Illinois. Mary Tyler Moore and Judd Hirsch got picked up for drunk driving from the wrap party ;)

Michael Moore's "Roger and Me" was filmed in Flint Mich. Which is only 10 miles from where I live.:)

Joe Somebody was taped here in Saint Paul,MN
Disclosure,Singles, Hand that Rocks the cradle,Life or something like it, Fear, and Sleepless in Seattle(ofcourse) were taped in Seattle.
An Officer adn A gentleman was taped in Port Townsend,WA

Seabiscuit-Some of it was filmed in Lexington, KY

Where in Kentucky are you from?

Less than half of The Lost World: Jurassic Park II was filmed here in San Diego.

Oh, the Dallas area's had quite a few...

* Bottle Rocket (the Wilson brothers are natives; they went to St. Mark's, a few streets away from my old HS)

*RoboCop (Downtown Dallas as neo-punk ... and it worked, too)

*Dr. T and the Women (Ah, yes, garden parties at the Arboreteum, those damn tornadoes -- and the Northpark fountain never had it so good as when Farrah Fawcett took a splash...)

*Serving Sara (wonder how long it'll take the Studios at Las Colinas to live that one down...)

*State Fair (the 1960 version with Pat Boone; there are some who will say Fair Park is the best part of the movie ...)

Oliver Stone seems to have a jumbo jones for the Big D, since quite a few of his movies have been shot around here:

*Talk Radio -- Set in Dallas; our first glimpse of shock jock Barry Champlain is at an SMU basketball game. Stone even hired a beloved local TV anchor to emcee that "game".

*Born on the Fourth of July -- Scenes were shot in the Elmwood area of Oak Cliff and the Dallas Convention Center was used for the Democratic National Convention scenes.

*JFK -- Of course.

*Any Given Sunday -- Texas Stadium became the home of the Dallas Knights -- and an infamous Barry Switzer cameo.

As for my immediate hometown, as far as a know, nobody's shot a big movie in Garland. Personally, I think our downtown square would make a great setting for either a nostalgia movie or a nice musical.

Didn't RoboCop take place in Detroit? Well, I can't blame them for not shooting there :rolleyes: ;)

I love that version of State Fair! (Glad to see some people still remembr it :) )

Fast and The furious 2 filmed most of the car racing scenes on the highway that goes parallel to my development...for like 3 months it was so annoying trying to get through there

SOme movie with Woody Allen was filmed in Boulder years ago, but I don't remember the name. :lol:

amistad

Signs was filmed around here

So was The Blob

Since so many movies and TV series are filmed here, New York City was turned into a giant outdoor set about ten years ago. All the buildings are fake. Over eight million actors are on call to play New Yorkers.

It's not the greatest part in the world, but I'm hoping my agent can get my character a better job next year.

;)

Actually, that explains a lot...

:lol:

Not a film, but an episode of the television series "Walker, Texas Ranger" was filmed in the apartment complex, where I live. Is that close enough?

The Ryan White Story was filmed here and the middle school I went to a few years ago was used in the movie. Thats about does it for my town...

50 first dates.I was on the set!I've been to that water zoo...thing...4 times.

Movies filmed here in Spokane:

1985 - "Vision Quest" (mostly filmed at the high school I'd attend ten years later)
1992 - "The Ghosting"
1993 - "Benny & Joon"
2002 - "Whacked!"
2003 - "Hangman's Curse" (also filmed at my former high school)
2004 - "Shadow Of Fear" (I'm starting to see an Aidan Quinn pattern here)

There was also a short lived series starring Patty Duke, who lives nearby, that was filmed here. It was called Amazing Grace, and it ran in 1995.

Being from New York City, there's obviously been lots of stuff filmed here: movies, tv shows, music videos. Problem is, I never seem to be around when they're filming. The last actually filming of a movie scene I've seen in person was for The Night We Never Met starring Matthew Broderick. They were shooting a scene one day I happened to be in Washington Square Park. I also saw a music performance scene being shot for the 80's syndicated series Fame in that same park. Nia Peeples and a couple other girls from the cast were there.

Good Burger!


:eek2: :lol:

What's The Worst That Could Happen movie with Martin Lawrence & Danny Devito was horrible. I'm mad at myself for spending money on that flick when it came to theatres. Movies that were filmed in Cleveland are Light Of Day with Michael J Fox, Welcome To Collinwood with George Clooney, Isaiah Washington, Gabrielle Union, Antwone Fisher with Denzel Washington, Against The Ropes that just came out today with Meg Ryan, Omar Epps, Charles Dutton.

The movies were indeed filmed in our home state of NC but the Andy Griffith Show was not, it was based in NC but filmed in Hollywood.

Many movies are being filmed in Michigan now, and have been since a new tax law benefiting them was passed a couple years ago.

Yeah, they are shooting a football movie called "Touchback" in Coopersville MI. It stars Kurt Russell, but people around here were more excited about another person in the film, Barry Sanders!

"A Christmas Story"...obviously!
"American Splendor" (Harvey Pekar...RIP)
"The Deer Hunter"
"The Fortune Cookie" (This is the first film to unite Lemmon and Matthau)
"Major League"
"Welcome to Collinwood"

Blue Collar with Richard Pryor and Harvey Kietel. Parts of it were filmed right here in Kalamazoo at this bar called Louie's( that looks totally different now), and this automotive plant called Checker Moters (where they manufactured the checker taxi cabs).

I wasn't living here when it was being filmed, but I live about 15 minutes away from Timberline Lodge(Mt Hood Oregon)where the exteriors of Kubrick's version of The Shining was filmed.(They have a part of the door with ax in from the movie that you can see at the lodge.)

Parts of the upcoming horror comedy 'Chihuanhas' is being filmed around Trillium Lake near Mt Hood.

One Potato, Two Potato (1964) was filmed in Painesville, OH, a couple of towns away from me. I lived in Painesville the first year and a half of my life and still go to church there. The movie starred future TV actors Barbara Barrie (Barney Miller, Suddenly Susan), Bernie Hamilton (Starsky & Hutch) and Richard Mulligan (Soap, Empty Nest).

I have never seen this movie (rarely shown on TV and is not available on VHS or DVD) - but would so love to. I would love to see what Painesville looked like back then.

I happened to stumble across this photo of Ms. Barrie and Mr. Hamilton outside the Lake County Courthouse in downtown Painesville. Also is a pic of the courthouse as it looks today:

I have been wanting to see One Potato, Two Potato for years.

I did find a few clips of the movie on YouTube today - not the whole movie, but it's something. I also found a few clips on the TCM website. :cool:

When I lived in Wichita, (which is in Kansas) I found out that all three Sarah, Plain and Tall movies were shot in Old Cowtown Museum. It's a part of town that still looks authentic and that's why they chose it for the movies. I thought it was pretty cool.

There was a "B" movie called Twister that was shot outside of town in an old mansion. The house is still there and it's gorgeous. Crispin Glover of Back to the Future fame was in the movie. The movie is kind of stupid, though.

I also believe that the movie Mars Attacks! had some scenes that were shot in Wichita as well. I might be wrong, but I know they were somewhere in Kansas if not Wichita.

That's all I can think of right now. :)

The Rookie was filmed in my city or at least the car chase on the freeway scene and again at the San Jose International Airport. The movie starred Clint Eastwood and Charlie Sheen.
