What well-known movies have been shot in your hometown?
 

Montreal people will have to help me out here if my list is short.

I know that The Score, The Jackal, The Assignment were all shot in Montreal.
The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz was shot in Montreal. Good movie, although I'm sure many people don't know it.

What about where you live?

To name a few. here in my hometown.. probably none that i know of. but ATL is just a short drive and I'm sure there are plenty.

The big expressway scene in The Kingdom was filmed right behind my house. I remember freaking out when I walked outside to get the mail and saw the sign had been changed to Arabic.

300 was shot in Mtl on blue screen ;)

My actual home town..not much. Though, a field was for some reason used in the 80's film Space Camp. The surrounding area was used in The Village.

Where I live now, London, has obviously been in a lot but the housing estate where I have lived since 1996 was where Clockwork Orange was filmed.

Btw..I love the filming locations feature on IMDB for finding out stuff like this.

Yeah I think I heard that too. Was it down at Mel's?

I live in Vancouver BC so the list would be too long to go thru :)

Milk Money - if anyone remembers that one.

They filmed "The Election" (Reese Witherspoon, Matthew Broderick) at my high school back in Nebraska my senior year. They would have their catering trucks pull up right outside the cafeteria so while we were eating our slop we had to smell the good stuff they were eating :mad:

Day of the Dead was filmed pretty much in my hometown, and where I lived for awhile. If we throw in Pittsburgh which is 35 mins away can add a shit load more lol
