Most all places in Austin where Dazed and Confused was filmed.

Initech building and parked in Lumberg’s spot.

Lots of other random places in Austin where various movies, TV shows were shot.

Hobbiton was amazing in NZ. They have a whole tour of the area. Sheep everywhere.

I've been to the town where Sideways was filmed (Los Olivos), it's a small town off of a highway in rural California. Our visit wasn't intentional, but it's a cool little town.

Other than that, I'm not sure which places I've been to that are film locations, none that I specifically went to because movies were filmed there.

I've actually been to Mount Bonnell with a girl that had 2 broke wrists and had to have her boyfriend wipe her arse. (This was also the basis of a joke that was told in the Coen Brother's movie Blood Simple at Mount Bonnell)

Recalling venues over the years. Played Mainroom in Minny from Purple Rain, the Greek from Get Him & probably other films.

Troubadoure, CBGB same deal. Stayed/played MGM Vegas/Ocean’s & Fremont St./Con Air.

Pretty sure I played Urban Cowboy’s Gilley’s years ago but may have been black out drunk.

Saw Marty & Elayne at the Dresden from Swingers. Still own signed CD

Miles of touring so lots of landmarks and big city stuff.

I went to where Forest Gump ended his cross country run. It called Monument Valley, right on the border of Utah and Arizona.

I just worked on a project at the state pen in Mansfield, Ohio where they shot Shawshank (and a few others). Creepy place and one our medics snapped a photo of what appeared to be a ghost. And I am a big skeptic of paranormal activity

Coolest was the crossroads from the end of castaway

Did a lot of the locations for Boogie nights and Tarantino films in SoCal
Went to the house where the John Holmes murders happened too in the Hollywood hills

My kids saw sunset done up in 1968 for once upon a time in Hollywood

I've been to several Star Wars locations. Most no longer exist.

For instance...

I visited both death stars prior to destruction.

I visited Alderaan prior to destruction.
