Obscure Film Locations You've Been to

[Kompany Car]

Lots of places in America, but thats low hanging fruit.

More unusual places

Villa Del Balbienello (Lake Como) used in Casino Royale and Star Wars

Also on the Bond theme - Paranal Observatory, Chile (lucky to go there for a work related job)

Or TV

Kingston, Ontario - Mayor of Kingstown

There’s loads of places in Saddleworth where Yanks was filmed hence why they have a weekend celebration there every year. Dobcross was used for a lot of the village scenes.
On a separate note, made it my mission a couple of times to stay at Pennan Bay and Camusdarach beach in Scotland where one of my absolute favourite films was shot……. Answers on a postcard please ???

Prompted by a post in the Top Five Films thread, I realised I'd been to some (relatively non obvious) Film Locations over the years:

3. Tatouine (The troglodyte hotel in Star Wars on Planet Tatooine)

Well you learn something every day.

I went to Dubrovnik and they wouldn't stop banging on about Game of Thrones. Half of it was CGI by the time it hit the screens anyway. Here's a set of stairs from some conversation scene. So iconic that they had to have a folder of stills to remind you.

I went to Dubrovnik this year, fifteen quid for a pint. Won't be going again.

Not so much obscure as I live in Cornwall and Charlestown is often shut down for boat scene recordings. However, myself and a few other people at work got accepted a few years ago to be Zombies on the World War Z film recording. I think it was like £20 a head, but we literally forgot to turn up on the day.

I sat on the porch of the house they used in My dog Skip, in Canton Mississippi. The woman in the nearby visitor centre said they wouldn't mind.
