Movies locations are essential to movies successes. It's not something you ever want to do as a profession, you should try it! It's what I do!
Any, discuss the interesting locations you've seen in movies and the process of finding locations for movies.

There is a wonderful advertisement for the LA Times that frequently shows
before the previews in theatres. It shows a director looking at slides
taken by a location scout, and finally seeing the images that he wants,
only after she has rapelled down a rock tower to get them. As the meeting
adjourns, he smirks and asks her, "So? Where's my river?" and our final
scene is of the location scout rafting down the whitewater rapids of
some canyon.
Every time I see that ad, I think to myself, "My god! What a terrific
job she has!"

Several films have been produced right here in Harford County (MD), the most recent being at a nearby farmhouse for the Amish movie with Tim Allen/Kirstie Alley (can't remember the title). One of the most beautiful locations, as I mentioned in another topic, was for "Il Postino" somewhere on the Italian coast. I'd location-scout there anytime!

That does not deny it merit, however...
(the B grade, that is)

They did a Sandra Bullock movie in Smithville this summer. They had a big
parade down Main street. I went there seeking a job as an extra but got
there too late. Got a great massage though.
Great location. I think Suzanne worked locations for this movie.
Suzanne is new to this, I showed her how to post things earlier today and
set her up with CRT.

How does one get a job as a location scout? Anyone willing to divulge such secrets?

This movie was filmed in New South Wales. Rose, Norman, Jane and Honey
Lindsay are the characters. It featues Hugh Grant, Sam Neill, Elle
McPherson, and other great actors.
I just saw the end of it. But not the beginning. And I want to see it
all. I missed the opening credits. It was playing on Starz II on the
satellite dish (G1 153).
Anyone know what movie this is?

Is this a quiz, Terry? Or don't you know? If you don't, try this site which cross-references actors & directors:

I have no idea what it is, but I'd like to know the title.

I couldn't get much behind the plot, but the acting, directing, and
cinematography was all first-rate. Sam Neill is always a delight,
but Hugh Grant was playing against type, and it showed. Elle McPherson
was the big surprise. Held her own with the best of them. I recommend it.

On Friday- and Saturday nights they have these really naf sex movies on TV for
bored, lonely people. So one night a bachelor friend of ours who work under my husband, rang up and said, 'Switch to SAT1 immediately!'
We did, and it was one of these movies; it was located in the music library which my husband runs! (But made before he came, I hasten to add.) We were in stiches, and he'll never hear the end of it at work.

Please take this as calm as you can, everyone. Coincidences don't get much stranger than this. Are y'all sittin' down? Cushion real soft and plentiful around yer butt? Okay. Good. I was the guy in that movie who was in the accident and had to have my left leg amputated, but they amputated my middle leg instead. The surgeon character apologizes to my character, "It was an accident, I didn't mean to or anything."
It was when I met that actor's real life wife---about a month before rehearsals started---that we came up with the location for the movie and suggested it to the director who was also in the hot tub with us. 3 people in the tub was just too crowded anyway, so the director got out and ran straight to the music library cuz me and the actor's wife were so enthusiastic about it as a fab location site. But what me and the wife did at that point was, unbeknownst to us, filmed by the cinematographer who was lu
king in the shadows. The lighting where we were was perfect for the shot, and that's why you saw that scene in the movie, towards the end (but before the accident, of course). It was her first scene as a professional actor. She went on to become Elle Macpherson, but I didn't....I only became me. All these coincidences in life!! Wouldn't it be such a letdown if they didn't happen? We'd have to lip sync it and try to act satisfied.

How very bizarre!
If only I had known you back then, I would have recognized you straight away - I mean, for the life of me, I could not work out why the movie had to be called, 'Ficknick in Texas' !
Well, now I know . . .. Thanks for clearing that up!
Pity you didn't continue with the acting career though. I found it pretty erotic when you licked Elle Macpherson's nose while doing a hand stand with all three legs touching the ground here and there, and letting out those little squeals of pleasure of yours. I even remember how your lines went: 'Giddyup, Ma'am, giddy-you-up-you-now . . . hmmm . . !!'

My storage room/cage/office is a movie location for a horror film. I'm shooting it on Super 8, of course.

My back bedroom-cum-catchall is its offspring and overflow sump. No matter how much stuff we remove, it fills up again over night. None of the stuff is mine, either. Odd!
