I love how, in The Road, Braddock PA was used for some shots because it already looks post-apocalyptic.

Not my hometown, but this was filmed in the Provincial Park across the lake from where I live now.

Most recently, Agent Game, with Mel Gibson was shot in my hometown. Lame movie, should've been direct to TV.
And parts of The Mule, with Clint Eastwood was shot here.
When I lived in Hawaii they filmed Tora, Tora, Tora on Oahu. Old planes flew around for a month to train the pilots.
I was in seventh grade, and after school I walked to Wheeler airfield, to watch them filming the runway bombing scene. It took 3 days. All fires and explosions were propane but looked more real after post production.

I guess not fair, but I live in Los Angeles and I work in the industry...hahaha I'm a local 44 propmaker and many things you are watching there is a realistic chance I worked on it
This last year I stayed bizy all year long. First a new Apple TV show yet to air, called (working title at least) "Lessons in chemistry" starring Brie Larson. Then I finished up the year doing the Voice season 22 @ Universal....Obviously there is stuff going on all around me 24-7, wheter I work on it or not.

Wanna know what grinds my gears? Hollywood sucks at southern accents. All that money and time, and they still suck so bad. Also, anything north of Doswell is an entirely different state called Northern VA and all bets are off, haha.

I've just found out this week that this movie, the 1959 version of
"The 39 Steps" was filmed in various locations within a 5 mile radius of where I now live.
The tea room in the film is still exactly the same and somewhere I go regularly for a cuppa.
In the book/film most of the Scottish scenes are set in the border lands between Scotland and England, 150miles south of here.
Ironically this film is actually set in my immediate neighbourhood.
The field next to my house was a regular place where Rob Roy grazed his cattle en route to market 8 miles away.
His patron the Duke of Montrose owned my house and rented it out to tenant farmers until it was sold in the early 1920s.
Not one scene in the film was shot within 150 miles of here.

Mary Pickford made Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm in a town where I misspent part of my youth… I guess we’ll have to ask @Toto'sDad about the movie

IMDB lists 34 films that were filmed where I currently live, here in SE Louisiana north of Lake Pontchartrain. The only one that came to my mind, before looking this up, was the one with John Goodman playing Huey P. Long.
I just watched Spy Game last night, and was annoyed to discover my home town disguised as East-Berlin.
Truly irritating tendecy that must be stopped!!!
Well to begin with, THERE WERE NO HIP-HOP SCENES IN THE MOVIE!Mary Pickford made Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm in a town where I misspent part of my youth… I guess we’ll have to ask @Toto'sDad about the movie

Our very old village square gets dressed up for movies quite regularly.
One or two weeks of mayhem and disruption for a minute of two of screen time.

Loved the movie!
