Film Locations you would like to Visit?

For me the main one would have to be:

Withnail & I

Stoney Stratford, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire


Penrith Tea Rooms (now a Chemist)




The King Henry Pub (now The Crown)




Uncle Monty's Cottage (Crow Cragg, Sleddale Hal)

So, are there any places in the world that you would like to visit, purely because they were a location in a movie?

I would love to play a round of golf here. Bill Murray hits one shot in Lost In Translation.

Already did, visited many of the locations used in Lord Of The Rings when i travelled New Zealand. Big fan of the fim, and happened to stumble on a LOTR guide book. Some stunning places, many of them still unspoilt by mass tourism. Nearly 6 years later and i'm still sorting out pictures

Was in Tunisia a few years ago, went to where they shot some of Star Wars.

I'd love to see the famous Exorcist steps in Washington

I've been to the diner at the Pike Place Market in Seattle where they shot a scene for Sleepless In Seattle. Not deliberately, I didn't notice until I saw the pictures on the wall as I was paying for my breakfast. I drank so much good coffee, there and later in the day, that I was actually Sleepless in Seattle that night. I've walked along the Seine like An American In Paris, and I used to commute along the path, in Holland Park in London, where Johnny Knoxville tried his Rocket Skates in Jackass: The Movie.

Locations I would like to visit include Tokyo, Rome, more New York, and some day Los Angeles, when I learn how to drive. (I know LA has public transport now, but it doesn't cover the whole city.)

I'm going to New Zealand later this year, and Im already mighty tempted to run down a hill with a sword humming the Lord of the Rings theme :pac: do do do do do do do...

I went to Cambodia specifically to visit Bokor Hill Station where R-Point and City of Ghosts were filmed. I spent the night in the abandoned casino on my own with some candles and a bag of weed and shat myself several times (metaphorically)

Went on a 'Sound of Music' tour in Salzburg, visiting locations from the film. Girlfriend dragged me - I was mortified. They even give you an 'Edelweiss' cocktail afterwards.

Have been to Angkor Wat in Cambodia, where Tomb Raider was filmed and have also visited the castle from 'El Cid' in Peniscola in Spain. Neither of these visits were planned because of the movie references though.

Would absolutely love to visit Hong Kong because of my love of the films from there - particularly locations from 'Chungking Express', one of my favourite movies ever.

Been to a few locations from movies and TV shows, and it's odd how different (i.e. mundane) these famous locations look off-camera!

Got to see Dealey Plaza in Dallas this month.
The wooden fence on the grassy knoll was rebuilt at Oliver Stone's behest for filming JFK.
Still there too.

Would like to see Curracloe strand in Wexford but I think Normandy should be first on the agenda.

The ranch in Hawaii where Jurrasic Park was filmed also was used for Godzilla and the TV series Lost plus a good few other films. Still has the Godzilla footprint imprint in the ground just metres away from where they filmed the Hurley golf scene in Lost! Altough New Zealand is an absolute stunnng country location wise alot of the scenes used CGI to ad more mountains in the background and stuff.

I've had coffee in the Montmartre cafe where Amelie works, sat where Matthieu Kassovitz sits in the film. I would like to see visit the Paris of Amelie though, I've lived here for 2 years and I still can't find it.
