Movies filmed in your hometown

Films Made In Corpus Christi,Tx. where I live. 1978 Tilt 1985 The Legend of Billie Jean 1997 Selena 2001 Pearl Harbor 2008 The Open Road In Production Not all movies were made entirely here. I know so many of the places in Billie Jean, those are in town near the malls. Selena has a lot of places I recognize also and Pearl Harbor, the Lexington battle ship is a major visitor attraction.

Hello Debs_place , the last place I lived the movie Assissins was filmed about 5 miles from where I lived, well the cemetaty scene.Rock Star was also filmed a little in the Seattle area. I don't usually keep up on what movies are being filmed in the area I live. Last year I know another movie was filmed close to where I now live. I still live in the Seattle area but in a different location by the puget sound.

montreal is a hollywood favorite site for movies, I don't know all of the movies, I remember snake eyes with nicholas cage because they asked for extras here in montreal, but I can't think of others, and yes I have recognized sites in montreal in the scenes as well.

I live in the Washington DC area, so it seems like millions of films have been shot here or are supposed to be shot here. One of the funniest ones ever is Patriot Games, I think that's what it was called. With Harrison Ford. His family is kidnapped or something and he's racing through Annapolis - which I know VERY well. Well, those shots were NOT anywhere near here, we don't have highways like that! And when he drove up Main Street in downtown Annapolis (that was real) I have no clue why he took the turn onto the side street to get to Route 50. It was also very pronounced Rowe (should be like the ouch "ow") like Row (they all say it wrong, even the traffic reporters from DC and Baltimore say it wrong!). My sister actually hung out in Annapolis a lot during the shooting to try to get a picture of Harrison Ford. She did get a picture of her standing beside his chair. As for the touristy movie shots, I think the most famous one is the stairs from the original Exorcist, where the priest went down. That was based on actual events that happened in DC - although it was really about a boy - and a lot of people will go look at the stairs. I've never been, but I hear it's pretty spooky. I know people who saw the movie when it first came out then walked over to the stairway. Gives me the chills just thinking about it!

A nice portion of Twister was filmed in Oklahoma. They even used our local weathermen as the weathermen in the movie. There is a film that just finished being shot here, but I don't remember the name. Jessica Alba is in it and I know that because she got in trouble for putting signs over part of the Oklahoma City. Small parts of Phenomenon (John Travolta) and Far and Away were filmed here too. Do you know that TNT show Saving Grace, with Holly Hunter? The show is set in Oklahoma, and they do film some of the show here. They definitely filmed a lot at the Murrah Bombing Memorial. I don't watch the show, but apparently the bombing fits into the storyline for Holly Hunter's character.

I'm from a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio and we had quite a few films made here, some only part of the film but nontheless. Here's the list: Air Force One American Splendor Antwone Fisher Christmas Story, my favorite. The Deer Hunter The Fortune Cookie Happy Gilmore Major League Welcome To Collinwood Light Of Day Spiderman 3 I'm sure there will be more to come, and I might have missed some along the way. I haven't seen all these movies but the Christmas Story House is open for tours.

The last movie I heard of with a Northern Ireland location was "Hellboy 2-the Golden Army" which featured the Giant's Causeway on the North Coast...apparently,though,according to the location Trivia on IMDB,they used only one establishing shot from there,then filmed the rest somewhere NOT in Ireland! More Locally to Me,a cliff overlooking Lough Erne,the Lough Navar Viewpoint (Gives a panoramic view out over the lough-one of the tourist attractions here!) got featured in a Locally filmed Movie,"The Mapmaker" some years back-they wanted a dramatic reveal when one of the stars was being chased on foot,and he emerges from a wooded area to this panorama...a nice effect,but as this cliff is several hundred feet up in a forest park and surrounded by bogland,a chase as though through a lightly wooded area on level ground wouldn't have been possible! I like to bring visitors up there.

I live failry close to where a part of the movie Yes Man was filmed. I said I live close, but I have never actually been to that particular place. I can watch many movies (the names elude me right now) that are filmed in places that I have been, but that's about it. For example, The movie A Christmas Story was filmed not very far from my hometown in a neighborhood that my parents took me to when I was very young. I don't really worry about the films and locations unless I recognize them, and even then, I may make a comment, but that is about it.

I live in Rhode Island, U.S. and since this is the smallest state there aren't many movies filmed here at all and when there is one, it is a pretty big deal. When I was in sixth grade, in 2007, a short scene from the movie, "Dan in Real Life" starring Steve Carell, was filmed at my school and was a pretty interesting experience. I also recognized a lot of the areas where the movie was filmed because almost the whole thing was shot in my state which is 1045 square miles compared to something like california which is 156,000 square miles.
