Not really a film location as such, our local..... but an interview with Brian Johnson and Robert Plant right in the middle of the bridge.

Mountainside Shell Station, North Bend in The Vanishing, that rehash 1993 remake of the superior Dutch/French original.

We stayed in apartments next to a taverna some of Shirley Valentine was filmed and just up the beach was the rock she spoke to

"I make fuck with you Shirley" !!

Dunno if its obscure but there was a film in 1977 called The Black Panther (not that Marvel one, based on some chap called Donald Neilson, ex military nutbar who went on a spree of post office robberies and kidnappings in 1972). Film starts off in a post office in Heywood which is where I'm at these days. Its a really cultured and sophisticated place.

I remember seeing an old 50s/60s film that was filmed on the River Irwell (the weir near Littleton Road Bridge) right near where I live...I just can't find the actual film. Might have been a Taste Of Honey but I can't find that actual scene.

Doesn’t sound familiar at all with a Taste of Honey

A few more.

Monument Valley - take your choice of films: Easy Rider, The Searchers, Windtalkers to name three. And a few miles north of MV is Forrest Gump Point, where Forrest ended his run with the words "I'm really tired, I think I'll go home now".

On the same trip I saw the diner where they filmed the scene where Forrest Gump came up with the smiley face design, and the street in Flagstaff where he came up with 'Shit happens'.

And nearby is the amazing Winslow Meteor Crater, where they filmed the final scene in Starman.

Been to Monument Valley.

Never got to Winslow, which I would like to, to see the crater but also just to stand on a corner.

I've had my breakfast sat at the same table the Reservoir Dogs did at Pat and Lorraine's Coffee Shop, Eagle Rock Boulevard, Pasadena LA

I was taken there 2 years ago but it was closed for the day!

The film Yanks (1979) used Stalybridge as a primary filming location, with the opening scene featuring American trucks crossing the Victoria Bridge and passing the War Memorial on Trinity Street, as well as Market Street and the old Town Hall. The false-fronted buildings on Market Street were made to look like a World War II-era street.

Market st Stalybridge, the lovely town Hall in the background now demolished by the wonderful Tameside council.
