For our first trip to Vegas a few years ago we went around and visited a lot of the places in The Hangover. That was kind of neat.

Stayed in Caesar's Palace, went to the wedding chapel, intersection where Mr Chow wrecks into them, etc. It was pretty cool.

Not a movie but I have been to the location on breaking Bad where Walt and Jessie did their first cook, Walt buried his money and the gunfight occurred where hank was killed and buried. I actually found a blank shell casing from the gunfight.

Not a movie, but I got some great shots of the Starcourt Mall set at Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, GA from when Stranger Things S3 was there.

We used to do Thanksgiving under the oaks at The Bluff where Forrest's house was. I can see DuPont State Forest (Hunger Games, Last of the Mohicans) from where I sit.

The valley in Hawaii where they filmed the Jurassic Park scene of them running from the herd.

It was actually really cool, they still have the big tree stump they hid behind sitting there.

A lot of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou locations. They toured the farm my father was renting at the time. Our understanding was it would have been used for the crossroads scene, but decided against it because of the irrigation pivots would have been in the background.

I live in the neighborhood where most of The Help was filmed. A couple of those houses have been sold/for sale in the last couple years. Hilly’s house is for sale, but I’m not a huge fan of it. It’s been for sale for probably 2-3 years... The mid-mod that Aibileen was the maid in came on the market like a month after we bought our house. I would have bought it in a heartbeat. It’s a pretty cool house if you’re into mid-mod’s.

The final fight in Hard Target was filmed where I work.
The cafe scene in Easy Rider filmed in Morganza where I grew up.
Some scenes from a Bonnie & Clyde movie with Emile Hirsch also filmed where I work.
And yea, Dukes of Hazzard movie scenes. LSU campus, a chase scene by my house, and the race track in Erwinville.

Tour in Sedona, AZ, where Walt Disney filmed a bunch of his nature films, no markers or anything, just mountains, rocks and desert, but it was great scenery.
