Mothman Prophecies was filmed a short time down the road from me.

[Qwerty]

Can't say anythingin my exact town. However, Bruce Almighty featured Eyewitness News, which is viewed in this part of New York.

Tomorrow Never Dies, amongst others. The Harry Potters, anything with "Oxford" in the title, bits of Heaven's Gate (rather oddly)...

Loads of stuff for Oxford, really. Bits of Spy Game were filmed here, at the old prison - which is used for quite a few things.

[Johnboy007]

The Sixth Sense (scences at one of the schools, was filmed at one of the elementary schools in my District, and I believe some of my friends may have been extras), Signs, Witness, and Philadelphia.

The tv show Cold Case, is based in Philadelphia, and I think does a few shots on location.

Probably more.

Grease was based on my high school, but that technically does not count.

[Mister Asterix]

I used to work right where they filmed some major scenes of Escape From New York. I occasionally eat lunch in the diner where White Palace was filmed. Manhunter was filmed here, as was a bit of Silence of the Lambs. We had a little bit of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles and Vacation filmed here. And they recently filmed The Game Of Their Lives here, the story of when the US beat England in the World Cup.

Possessed with Timothy Dalton was set here but filmed in Canada.

[mccartney007]

Not in my town per say, but they were filmed in the area:

Hidalgo, Starship Troopers, Dances with Wolves, Stagecoach, North by Northwest, Mercury Rising, Armageddon, Crazy Horse, The Neverending Story III, Thunderheart, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the show Deadwood is about the town I was born in although they've only filmed reference material there.

[Janus Assassin]

Bad Boys 2 was filmed near my house

[00-FAN008]

Grey Owl starring Pierce Brosnan was filmed in my province! Just a bit north, at a place called Waskesiu.

[Double-Oh-Zero]

I think a bit of Saving Private Ryan was filmed here. That's about it, unless you count Toronto, which is pretty much Hollywood North, along with Vancouver.

[Righty007]

The Battle of Shaker Heights is about my town but it wasn't filmed here. Isn't that stupid?

The Drew Carey Show (TV Series) took place in Cleveland and parts of it were filmed here.

Saved By The Bell (TV Series) was based on my high school.

[Bond111]

In the town I used to live in they filmed a movie called The Last Great Ride. A real Oscar winner.

[Qwerty]

LOL! "Lame and boring"

[PaulZ108]

I lived in the crappy little town in Arkansas where Sling Blade was filmed from 1998-2000. When I lived near Pittsburgh the nearest mall that I used to go to was the one in which the original Dawn of the Dead was filmed. Until last month I lived in San Antonio, where Miss Congeniality, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (there's no basement in the Alamo!), and some other (mostly obscure) things were filmed.

[mattbowyer]

Mission Impossible 2, Bond 21...

[Blofeld's Cat]

Using Sydney as my "home town" Star Wars 2 & 3, and the Matrix flix were mostly made at Fox Studios smack bang in the center of the city. Many others too, but can't think of any other big ones at the moment.

Spy Game seemed to have been entirely shot on location in the UK. My favourite bit was where we saw old David 'Emmings supposedly in the HSBC building in Hong Kong, but obviously in the Lloyds Building in London. Not too unclever, though, as they were both designed by the same architect.

All of the american streets appear to have been filmed in London too. Odd.

The new 'Batman' was filming here last night;that was the explaination for the hovering helicopters...Spiderman 2 also used Chicago for the train sequence...and of course lots of movies film here. It's cheaper than New York.

[homerjbond]

At least in part, here's a few (notice alot of NASA-themed movies - I wonder why ) :

Apollo 13, Armageddon, Arlington Road, Reality Bites, Robocop 2, Rush, Selena, Space Cowboys, Terms of Endearment, Tin Cup, Twins

Quite a lot of things are cheaper than in NYC.

Well, Ocean's Twelve this year. They shot this scene outside a coffeeshop behind my mom's office. Yeah, and of course every woman in the city went crazy with George, Brad and Matt in town.

[Tim007]

Uhm. A "Tatort" back in the 90s featured scenes from Trier. Okay, that will only say something to our German users...

The Ring was filmed all over around here, and the remake show of The Fugitive that was on a couple years ago with the guy from Wings was filmed here.
