    Live and Let Die had a couple scenes in New Orleans. My favorite is the one at the Southern Yacht Club. They filmed right where I used to launch my boat.

    little lift, wheels and tires, prinsu rack, TRD Pro grille, some lights, and some scratches.
    The last mission impossible there is a helecopter chase scene over some windmills, they are supposed to be in Germany when infact they are just off the 10fwy by palm springs, ca. Also the movie In To The Wild, where he is dropped off by the old man just before his final trip to alaska, that is at the white water exit here in palm springs as well.

    RIP Lucy.
    She's gone but not forgotten.
    I lived in D.C. and I used to climb the steps used in The Exorcist. I worked in the building they shot the Clint Eastwood movie FireFox (if you look real hard in the background you can see me dressed in a British uniform, I was a door guard). Now I'm in Ocala, the Johnny Weismuller Tarzan movies were filmed here, and the old 20,000 leagues series, a bunch more (actually shot at Silver Springs, about 4 miles from my house).

    Oh yes I was at OCIR when they filmed the Shirley Muldowney movie "Heart like a wheel". Thought it was funny how they pretended with the smoke effects.

    The first five years of X-Files were filmed in Vancouver, very close to home. X-Men III was filmed in Agassiz were I live now. The scene where Magneto flips the semi over his head is on my road.

    Also what I meant was more than doing a google search on what has been filmed in your area. But if you saw them making the film, were in it, or was watching the film & noticed your towns in the movie.

    Aahhh, okay. This past summer they filmed Night at the Museum 2 on the Mall and at the Air and Space Museum. The cops watching over all the gear on the Mall kept coming over to our jobsite to use the bathrooms.

    Several years ago when they filmed National Treasure we were doing a rig on 7th street and that night we got to watch them film the scene where Nicholas Cage runs out with the DoC.

    A few already mentioned. I also know that several scenes for the upcoming Transformers 2 movie were shot in Bethlehem and Philadelphia PA (not really "near" me, but the same state counts).
