I live in Alb, NM. The TV show "Breaking Bad" was filmed here, also I had to sit through "High School Musical" and when Gabriella mentioned "Albuquerque" my kids both looked at each other and noted that's where we live, I guess you can teach through the electronic baby sitter, just kidding. So, any movies or TV shows feature your little neck of the woods?

The movie Glory Road was filmed here in El Paso, and in other parts of the US, but it was mostly here. Pretty cool. Josh Lucas is a handsome guy, I wish I could have gone to that gala they had when he was here during the movie premier. Pretty cool, I think. There have been older movies filmed here as well.

Glory Road was a great movie, I guess we could start a "Map of Famous Movie Places" to combat the well known map of Hollywood stars homes.

I live in Albuquerque too and its becoming quite a popular venue for movie making. A teacher at the school I went to for Massage Therapy was forever sending therapists to the studio.

I've also lived in San Francisco and often came upon movie and tv sets. I've lived in NYC too and many movies have been made there. I lived in MD and nearby is DC and the the Excorcist was shot in nearby Georgetown.

Its kinda cool. Here in ABQ, they look for extras. My husband considered a second part time job when they were looking for security a while back. Its fun I think.

Hello fellow desert lover. Living in San Fran would expose you to all sorts of movie stuff.


myLot reputation of 92/100. artemis432 (2212)   ranked 5 out of 14 in movies  4 years ago

Funny to be called that as I love the ocean and being surrounded by it - on islands. Yet I've always been pulled here, and now that I'm here in the desert, I think I'd like to stay!

Yes SF is amazing. I loved living in a destination place. A place where the whether was different depending what part of the city you were in - I lived at one point in Sunset - my favourite part of the city - foggy. A city where each section of the city has a different culture and feeling.

I sometimes want to go back - but just to visit!

We moved here from Florida a couple of months ago, its too dry for me, of course coming from the beach and ocean I'm used to water all the time.


myLot reputation of 92/100. artemis432 (2212)   ranked 5 out of 14 in movies  4 years ago

We almost moved to Penscecola a few months ago to the base down there but decided to stay here. It would've been nice, but too much rough weather. Okay so I say that living in the desert and feeling fine here even though I hate HOT weather!

There is one that featured our place in a movie, it was about a local horror movie. The movie was titled, "Feng Shui" (wind-water in English). They featured our place, we even saw the actors on that movie and we're all happy as we watched them rest for a while in our chapel to wait for their secne..


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 1 out of 14 in movies  4 years ago

Rubbing elbows with scripted actors, cool. Is this movie available to rent?


myLot reputation of 93/100. raijin (6691)  4 years ago

Yes it is, but am not really sure if it's available there in your place. It's made here in the Philippines, so I suggest that if you're interested then try searching for that copy on the net first..happy

I am not sure if any movies or television shows were filmed around here,but I think it would be cool if something had been filmed here,or if something was gonna be filmed here.


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 1 out of 14 in movies  4 years ago

Do some research, you never know.

Yes, my town, Angono, the Art Capital of Rizal and also famous for an art gallery and restaurant serving unusual foods, the Balaw Balaw Restaurant was featured in Bizaare Foods by Andrew Zimmern. He had a taste of "Uok", a giant local worm harvested from fallen trees. I bet he didn't like it. rasplol

I live in Manchester, in the North of England, and filming around here's not that uncommon. "Life on Mars" was filmed in Manchester (mostly round the back streets, as the more developed parts would have looked too modern for a series set in the 70s) and the re-make of "Survivors" is filmed in and around Manchester - the centre of town features prominently in the first episode, although subsequent episodes have mostly been filmed in the surrounding countryside and small towns. Both of these series have been set in and around Manchester, but some of the programmes made in the past have been filmed in Manchester and set elsewhere. An example from the 80s would be a popular detective series called "Bulman", which featured extensive location footage of Manchester but was set in London for some reason - very weird. "Adam Adamant Lives" and "Spendoe" were also filmed in Manchester but set in London.

Grey's Anatomy takes place in Seattle, though it's not filmed here. The fictional hospital is apparently located right below the space needle (in the spot where the ABC tv station actually is), which is fairly close to where I live. If I ever watch the show (it has gone downhill for the last few seasons), we try to find our apartment building on the quick city shots. No luck yet.

Every once in awhile there will be helicopters that hover above the city--especially in the spring and summer--and I always wonder if they are filming to get shots of the city.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nerdytina (2037)  4 years ago

Oh yeah, and Frasier! That was before I moved here though.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nerdytina (2037)  4 years ago

And then there's Sleepless in Seattle--which I've never seen, but that I got as a gift after moving here.


myLot reputation of 87/100. itsmefaith (2222)  4 years ago

Also, Ten Things I Hate About You takes place supposedly in Seattle but was actually filmed at a high school in Tacoma.

Sleepless in Seattle is cute. Have you ever gone on any of the Puget Sound tours? Some of them take you by the house it was filmed at.

Northern Ireland gets the occasional nod from filmmakers..the recent "Hellboy 2-The Golden Army" featured the Giant's Causeway here as a location,but apparently there was something like only one wide shot of the actual location,then shooting took place someplace else..The Area I live in,County Fermanagh,has wonderful lakeland Scenery,and a Panoramic viewpoint from here featured in a Movie called "The Mapmaker" some years back.
