I've been to the waterfall and bridge in Ireland where Lancelot fought Arthur in Excalibur. The bridge later burned down.

Eileen Donan Castle in Scotland.
From Highlander
My family is Macleod, and on our way back from the Isle of Skye (the true domain of MacLeods), we had to pass by the movie castle

All over Austin to the Daxed & Confused locations. Had beers with my Dad at each, csb bonding moment.

I have mentioned before that the condo across from my old one at Church Road & Skillman was where Robocop lived before his injuries. It's the scene where he remembers walking up to the door and opening it. The interior they used was a set in Los Colinas.
I have stayed in the Ambassador East Hotel in Chicago. That's where Roger Thornhill goes after the crop duster scene in North by Northwest. In 1985 when I stayed there the lobby/counter/concierge desk all was exactly the same as the movie.
I went with a buddy on a tour at Paramount Studios. Our guide took us to several locations that were not on the tour. Including the studio where the bridge from Star Trek Next Generation was set up. I sat in Picard's chair.
Nearly all of us have been to football games in Tiger Stadium where Everybody's All American was filmed.
ETA: Also walked around the outside of the Griffith Observatory where Jim and Buzz fought with knives in Rebel Without a Cause.

I'm sure most here have been to Bourbon Street, I remember part of Easy Rider being filmed there, probably tons of others movies.
Also in New Orleans, whenever I'm by Lafayette Square I always think of JFK, when Kevin Costner is walking around talking about government buildings and places where Lee Harvey Oswald hung around.

Went to Cinecitta in Rome, and got to walk down the main set of Gangs of New York, and went in the sub from U571. Also, for some reason, they were filming the show "Rome" on a fake set of Rome, in the middle of the Rome.

Also forgot to mention that I've been to the courthouse in canton, ms where they shot time to kill. Just like a lot of my MS brethren.
Anybody from Cali been to the bowling alley from The Big Lebowski?

The Field Museum (American Museum of Natural History) in Chicago has a real German U-boat that was copied for the interior set of Das Boot. I went through it. It's a tiny SOB.
They've got a coal mine under that facility. It was a working mine when I went there in 1985. <--yea, I'm the coolest guy on here because I visited Chicago and picked up a girl in a Mike Ditka's 6th Street bar the year they won the SB.

'The Savage Bees' was filmed.
Audubon Zoo where the unforgettable Cat people was filmed..
I've been to Bourbon street where the okay 'Easy Rider' was filmed
Been to Zephyr Stadium where the extraordinary Mr. 3000 was filmed.
The Canal St. Ferry and the GNO where such classics like Deja Vu and 12 rounds was filmed..

The field where Mork and Mindy were flying kites at the opening of the show is just up from where we lived in Boulder. We were on a hike and stumbled onto the filming. Robin Williams was surprisingly friendly and signed autographs.
The Whistle Stop Cafe from Fried Green Tomatoes is just up the road at Juliette, GA. They still milk that with overpriced mediocre food.
We've been to nearly every birding spot in The Big Year and have met the female boat captain played by Angelica Houston (took her boat trip out of Monterrey). She is every bit the hardass that is portrayed. It's a fun movie if you are a birder; I'm glad the movie tanked because there are a lot of great places that would be overrun if the movie were a hit.
The New Zealand Alps where most of the Lord of the Rings was filmed really is that gorgeous.
