Dude, no .. just no!Yeah in high school we lived 10 miles form there---would dare each other to climb on top of Arch--how stupid
It's not too hard to find. Reasonable tourist attraction in small town(Dyersville) IA.
Live one mile from the Gallatin River where Robert Redford and Brad Pitt ruined Montana fly fishing.
The school house and restaurant from the Birds, had a drink at the bar, Tallulah Gorge where they filmed Deliverance, we used to go there all the time, a bunch of the hills in the Dirty Harry movies, cabbies in SF had a route and late at night would zoom over the hill tops and get airborne, steam tunnels at Carnegie Mellon where Creep Show was shot, bunch of places where Flashdance was shot, got kicked off the set at one point while they were filming
It’s a big tourist attraction. There were actually two fields built for the filming. One of the farmers just returned his to as it was before. The other kept it and turned it into a tourist attraction (visitors by 65,000 annually I believe I’ve heard). Smart move by that guy.
Yeah it was stupid,..super scary that height especially after a few beers
I used to visit a company in NJ that was close to the bowling alley (stuckeybowl) used for the TV show called Ed.
I was also traveling in southern CA with a SciFi nerd engineer who guided us to a place where Star Trek scenes were filmed. I think it was the one where Kirk made homemade gunpowder.
my wife grew up in West Chester PA area, and there are multiple M Knight Shamalon locations nearby.

Venice High — Greece and American History X (probably lots of others).
Santa Monica Mall — Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Santa Monica Pier and PCH — tons of movies.

I was at Oak Alley Plantation shortly after Interview with the Vampire was filmed there. Some of the movie sets were still in place which was super cool

The hotel was located along Kidder Street where the Marriott is currently located. I believe it was the Holiday Inn at the time you are refering.
Cool, Harbest, that you are from tne North End. Coughlin grad?
I went to Paramount Ranch, before it burned down. I played in the park in Rocky in Kensington as a kid. One of my recent favorites happened in NCIS New Orleans, where they were working a crime scene in a rail yard--near Peters and Spain in the Marigny--as you can see the house we rented just over the wall. I recall going to the church in Flashdance before a PSU-Pitt game. Others have noted the Witness sites. In fact just before that movie came out, my brother and I, not knowing, had a hotdog in the restaurant where Harrison Ford and the kid eat near the beginning of the movie. Bob's Diner in Manayunk was in Stealing Home. You can see the location of my parents grave in Manchester by the Sea. It's about 50 ft from where the guy and his nephew are walking by the cemetery (Beverly Central), though their marker faces away from the street. And, if you were able to make a 180 turn from the steps of the funeral home in that movie, you would see my grandparents house in Beverly (though I do no remember it). My home town of Warminster, specifically the Johnsville section, has a cameo in both The Right Stuff and Hidden Figures, as the Navy centrifuge that trained the astronauts was there.
I still want to go up to Mansfield, Ohio, to see some of the Shawshank sites.
And I'll note that the movie Unstoppable about the runaway train was partly filmed in Port Matilda.
Oh, almost forgot Teachers, which was filmed at Central High in Columbus. My SIL was in it as an extra, though I'm not exactly sure where.

Been there as well along with Spring Hill cemetery at the Marshall memorial as seen in we r Marshall as well as the KEITH Albee
Visited Christmas Story house in Cleveland. Definately worth it if you're a fan of the movie. The guy who played the delivery man works there. Or at least he did when we visited a few years ago.
Also visited Boone Hall plantation, used in the north and south mini series with Patrick swayze.

While the Empire State Building has been featured in many movies, I’m not sure if any, were actually shot in the building. Ditto for the Statue of Liberty.

Bunch of movies since I’ve lived in a few places where a lot of movies are filmed (DC, Philly), but I’ve been to a lot of locations where they filmed scenes from one of my favorite movies - Dazed and Confused. Top Notch Hamburgers, the Burger Center where they shot the scenes on the football field and the next morning in the parking lot, their high school which I think is either a middle or elementary school on 1st and William Cannon, etc.
Been to a few locations seen in the movie "Paterno".
Sorry, couldn't resist. Also stayed in the hotel used for its exterior in The Shining.
Going to Universal Studios in LA was cool. Did the VIP tour. Because my son and I are fans of "The Good Place", the Universal Studios tour guide took just us to Michael/Ted Danson's office and Eleanor/Kristen Bell's clown house interior in the first season.
I think there is going to be a MLB game played there next year.
