What movie did they make in your hometown?

Strangely enough, The t.v. movie The Devil In Connecticut starring Kevin Bacon as Arnie "Cheyenne" Johnson which was about the family that lived down the road from us-they were weird, but nice enough. it wasn't their fault that their kid got possessed by the devil-was filmed in Maine!!! and not in our humble hamlet. we wuz robbed!

all the John Waters films
quite a few Barry Levinson films (Diner, Tin Men, Avalon, Liberty Heights)
The Accidental Tourist
Home for the Holidays
Enemy of the State
The Replacements
Head of State
the forthcoming Ladder 49

There are more, but that's all I can think of.

I hear tell that Asia Argento is filming a movie based on a J.T. Leroy novel in my old home town of Knoxville, Tenn. That's gotta be a some kind of harbinger of the apocalypse. And Tom DeCillo shot Box of Moonlight near there too.

That movie is in the horror section at my video store but it's so NOT horror.

also, a couple of shots in:

That Was Then, This Is Now
Fargo
Beautiful Girls
Equinox

and tons more...

A couple years back, I saw Don Johnson out front of a trailer filming "Nash Bridges" in San Francisco's North Beach and asked him about "Macon..." He smiled and laughed but wouldn't answer me.

...uh...maybe it was mentioned in MM's "The Big One"?
oh, and countless student films

OMG ned you are forgetting TOP GUN!!!

CORONADO, my friend. San Diego is another kettle of fish entirely, as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes made clear.

I worked at a summer camp in New Milford.

They filmed part of The Preacher's Wife here in Portland.

Still a separate city, mofo! We just put the bridge up to allow you peons to come over to work for us and then get out (which actually is pretty much part of the reason why the bridge is there but anyway).

There've been a number of other films shot in Cerrillos. My landlord liked to appropriate abandoned set pieces. He made a garage out of the "Young Guns" blacksmith's shop and a gazebo from the territorial prison watch tower in "John Carpenter's Vampires."

Colin, I vaguely remember you from St. John's. You were a friend of Tom Hammerman's, no?

Anyway, to the matter in hand.

The first wedding in Four Weddings & A Funeral was filmed, not in Somerset as the invitation stated, but in the parish church of the sleepy village of Betchworth in Surrey, opposite my local boozer (well, local when I'm down there), The Dolphin.

And some of Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine's "Rubbish" video was filmed right here in sunny Bethnal Green...but I guess that's hardly surprising, sal'-ov-the-erf types that they were.

The Saint

I guess films about people who lived in Oxford, like Iris.

Also some film about two gaysexuals on a council estate. At the end they go waltzing in the car park and no one beats them up or anything.

Nice.

It's about spelling bees and they were flying a giant letter "A" over the Port of Oakland by helicopter.

On Golden Pond was filmed on Squam Lake, where my family's lakehouse is -- we canoed over to gawking distance to see the Fondas and the Hepburn, but I was too young to know who they were.

We spent an hour or so stuck in traffic once in Boston while they filmed a chase scene for Spenser For Hire (not a movie, though, and not my hometown, just nearby).

i) a video for The Mission (UK)

ii) an episode of Minder

iii) the video to Urban Hype's 'A Trip To Trumpton' at the local Lido

It's on the same block as my old high school in Berwyn, IL. Thought I'd never go back again, but I'm buying a house there.

Also, members of the band Survivor went to that school. It's like a big holding bucket for suburban kitsch.

parts of: Castaway, People v. Larry Flint ...and Making the muthafuckin' Grade feat. Judd Nelson, Gordon Jump, and "Dice" Clay

Loads of stuff has been filmed in Edinburgh, but a couple of years back an episode of gritty John Hannah detective drama Rebus was filmed in my street. They pretended to burn a flat down; watching the pyrotechnics being filmed was very impressive.

Quatermass 2 (1957)

"Professor Bernard Quatermass is still angry that the British government won't green-light his Moonbase project when he discovers that someone has built a working replica of his project at Wynnerton Flats. And now some mysterious meteorites have fallen on the area - could the two be linked? Quatermass investigates and discovers that the plant is producing synthetic food for a race of aliens hoping to invade the planet - aliens who have started to possess key government officials..."
