What Movies were filmed in your hometown?

[UnderdogDJLSW]

Well, Baltimore and Washington DC. Take your pick.

Although, I do have to laugh, when a film is supposed to take place in DC and they don't shoot it there. You can tell. Same thing happens with NYC, too.

""Bandits"" (Bruce Willis and Billy Bob) I took a humdinger of a picture of Billy Bob in that goofy old man golf outfit he wore in part of the film ... he looked straight at me and said "Oh thanks a lot" and went on to say something about how he didn't chose the outfit. The first Bank they rob is right down town Silverton when they get away in the silver Chrysler PT ... I was behind a building watching them do the filming ... so I sort of was in the movie ... you just couldn't see me lol lol

""The Hunted"" ( Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro ... not sure the spelling ) like all the forest parts were filmed at the Silver Falls State Park

""One flew over the Cuckoo's nest"" was filmed in Salem just a short drive from here ... in fact I just drove past the main hostpital they used today.

Lots of small parts in many movies have been filmed in the general area Mt. Angel and Scotts Mills are like right up the road and both have also been used in movies most aren't block busters ... most have been B Movies

Nothing in my hometown, they don't take kindly to people coming in with their fancy cameras. And the sad part of that is I'm not joking!

But when I lived in South Carolina I would frequently go to Beauford SC where most of the funeral procession scenes to "The Big Chill" were filmed as well as the house. This same house was also used for "The Great Santini".

Traffic is a brilliant film! I think Soderberg won the Best Director Oscar for that movie. It's not dumb by a long shot.

Soderbergh is from Baton Rouge, and filmed "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" here, I forgot about that one.

You mentioned Houston; One of my favorite movies was shot in Houston, "Reality Bites".

As already mentioned, parts of SUPERMAN 2 were shot in my birthplace and sometimes hometown of Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Columbus Ohio - hot bed of film making.

A few years back some dumb Michael Douglas movie was filmed here. I think it was Traffic.

Just a few have shot here, no big blockbusters. Some of The Distinguished Gentleman(1992) with Eddie Murphy was shot at the capital building in Harrisburg. Lucky Numbers (2000) w/ John Travolta & Lisa Kudrow was shot all over central PA, in Hershey, Harrisburg and Carlise. Oh yeah, and Major League II (1994) used the ballfield of the local AA team, The Harrisburg Senators.

Where I live in NY so many films have been made. Some that have been made in areas I know of or have visited:

The Godfather - The funeral for Don Corleone' - scenes filmed at the big cemetary in an area called Maspeth.

Goodfellas - Middle Village & Maspeth - The Diner Scene, aka, "Get Yer F----ng shine box!" was filmed at the Spartan Resturant. The Resturant is gone but the building has been converted to something else. Queens Blvd. & various locations.

Street Trash - Filmed at the Flushing Corona park and the Parkside Resturant in the heart of Corona doubled for the mob owned resturant, ( which in reality is in fact Mob owned).

A Bronx Tale was actually filmed at various locations in Astoria, Queens.

Spider-Man - the street Peter walks up after beating up Flash Thompson at school is Ascan ave in Forest Hills and on that block was a popular Comic Book Store called Little Nemo's. It was owned and run by a man whose name I forget but he was a Pupil of Norman Rockwell.

The Producers, ( Old version), once scene was filmed at Lincoln Center where the fountain gets turned on. I sued to work accross the street from there at a stationary store which is now out of business.

Die Hard With A Vengence - 72nd Street Subway stop, less than 10 blocks up from Lincoln Center. I used to work at a bookstore up there.
