Drove past the Home Alone house in Chicagoland.
Visited Field of Dreams in Iowa.
Philadelohia Art Museum and South Philly market in Rocky.
Probably some others I cannot remember at this time.

Best I can do is the Philadelphia Art Museum steps. Guaranteed every time you go past, someone is running up the steps
Drove passed the Inn at Rodanthe on way to Outer Banks destination.
Several of the background scenery in Marley and Me ( shot in West Chester, PA)
Not much of a list, I know.

The Exorcist steps in Georgetown.
For some reason I want to visit Astoria Oregon, lots of Goonies destinations there.
Used to fish the Chattooga River on the Georgia/South Carolina border where they filmed Deliverance. Never heard banjos.
Driven through intersections in Lancaster county that were in Witness. Saw house used for The Shining in Colorado.
In Savannah, saw Forest Gump’s bench. Also, the Biltmore in Asheville, NC, has been in a number of movies, and we hiked Chimney Rock where they filmed Last of the Mohicans.
It’s amazing how much good behavior will shorten your sentence.How long were you there for?
Yes, it must have really sucked for you to see all your buddies get out before you did.It’s amazing how much good behavior will shorten your sentence.
There are too many ghosts in that place...freaks me out.Yes, it must have really sucked for you to see all your buddies get out before you did.
That would be my contribution to this thread. Funny how it never entered my mind until you posted.
I sit and wait at the drawbridge in Smokey and the Bandit II almost daily thanks to all the yankees down here w/ their sailboats.
Actually most of that bad film was shot in either Jupiter (Burt's scenes) or Miami (Gleason's scenes). A lot of it was shot at Burt's ranch out west of Jupiter.

Is it just some random field that’s difficult to find or is it a big tourist attraction?
I went to "The Shining" hotel as well, only it was at Mt. Hood in Oregon.
The movie : The Third Man. Orson Welles.
Popped on by Vienna a few years ago.
Had to see the apartment/steps , where in the dead of night O W was hiding. Then appeared a kitty cat at his feet ,a meowing. Then you see OW's face, in a lighted camera shot, and he's smirking away.
A great movie. Loved that take/shot.

Alcatraz Island, San Francisco., Escape from Alcatraz. Also, Point Dume, Malibu Beach, where the famous ending of Planet of the Apes was filmed.
Although not a famous movie setting, I lived about 8 miles south of Southfork, TX outside of Dallas, where the Southfork Ranch is located and the filming of the long running TV series Dallas/JR Ewing estate took place.

There are still some events being held at the old Durham ballpark where "Bull Durham" was filmed. I've been to several.
I flew in a helicopter over the "prison" island off Hana, Hawaii, where "Papillon" (1973 version) was filmed.
There's a plaque outside the Del Coronado hotel near San Diego commemorating the "Some Like It Hot" scenes filmed with Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis.
The prison escape movie "On the Yard" (1978) was filmed at Rockview. (I've only seen it from the outside.)

Wife and I basically did the ‘Sideways’ trip a few years ago en route to San Francisco. Ate at The Hitching Post and walked around Solvang and Buellton.
I also stood on a corner in Winslow, Az.
I walked the bases where Field of Dreams was filmed and visited 1880 town where parts of Dances with Wolves was filmed.
"Such a fine site to see. "
Year's ago nephew picked up a Master's degree here at UCSD.
He said enough of California. Joined him on a drive back to Michigan.
On the way he insisted we drive through Winslow.
No girl's in a flatbed Ford that day.
Bout it.
Nephew's currently living the NYC life.

My wife and I had lunch in the restaurant (French) in Manhattan where the restaurant scene in the French Connection was filmed. We must have looked like tourists because they sat exactly where the scene was filmed. I believe it was the corner of First and 61st.
Also, we ate Calamari at Umberto's Clam House which appears in The Irishman as the place where Crazy Joe Gallo was assassinated.

I’ve done those as well. Actually have a picture with a Gump impersonator on the bench.
Edit: Now that I think about it, a little past Chimney Rock is the town where they filmed Dirty Dancing. We did that as well.

I have been to the Eckley miners village they built for the movie. I grew up in North End of Wilkes-Barre and I remember when they were filming the movie, there was a helicopter that I saw daily that I was told ferried the cast and crew to and from their hotel to Hazleton. I was a big Sean Connery fan growing up and I have to content myself that flying in a helicopter at about 1000 ft over my house is the closest I will ever come to James Bond.
Did you get some magic dust? Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sanford Pinot Noir is one of my favorites.
