I'm from Toronto. So many movies get filmed here that if it weren't for the climate I'd think it's Mumbai.

What a neat thread! I had quite a few "theatre" friends who did film acting to make ends meet LOL! I remember an argument at my going away party between a friend who was in Driving Miss Daisy and the other was in Scream 2! Hilarious! Which was the more popular film.

Some good non-actor friends were somewhat regular extras for In The Heat of the Night TV series filmed in Convington, GA. They tried and tried to get me to be an extra and even got the asst casting director to talk to me! I could never do anything like that, but it was neat taking to her.

Seachd, Blessed and parts of Stardust, Dragonslayer and Highlander were all shot near one of my old homes. Too many to list for Glasgow, London and Oxford.

Billy Elliot has scenes shot in my hometown - the bus station that he departs from is located just opposite St James Park in Newcastle.

Goal has a lovely cinema shot showing all seven bridges that cross the Tyne - lots of scenes were shot in St James Park Stadium too.

Many parts of Ferris Bueller's Day Off were filmed at Glenbrook North High School in the Fall of 1985 with students serving as extras (most of the interior shots, though, were filmed at the shuttered Maine North High School). The party scene from the film Uncle Buck was filmed at a house in the Highlands neighborhood, on Crabtree Lane. The grocery store scene in She's Having a Baby was filmed at Sunset Foods, and scenes in Ordinary People and Weird Science were shot at the Northbrook Court shopping mall. A small scene from the film Risky Business was shot at a highway ramp off the Edens Expressway.

John Hughes grew up in my hometown and did a lot of his filming here.
