Later they made "Outbreak" and then the ass-sucking "The Majestic" but I was long gone for those.

People remember The Omen as just a 70's horror movie, but it had Gregory Peck! Gregory Peck! That was a really good movie.

Strangely enough, The t.v. movie The Devil In Connecticut starring Kevin Bacon as Arnie "Cheyenne" Johnson which was about the family that lived down the road from us-they were weird, but nice enough. it wasn't their fault that their kid got possessed by the devil-was filmed in Maine!!! and not in our humble hamlet. we wuz robbed!

I hear tell that Asia Argento is filming a movie based on a J.T. Leroy novel in my old home town of Knoxville, Tenn. That's gotta be a some kind of harbinger of the apocalypse. And Tom DeCillo shot Box of Moonlight near there too.

There've been a number of other films shot in Cerrillos. My landlord liked to appropriate abandoned set pieces. He made a garage out of the "Young Guns" blacksmith's shop and a gazebo from the territorial prison watch tower in "John Carpenter's Vampires."

Anyway, to the matter in hand.
The first wedding in Four Weddings & A Funeral was filmed, not in Somerset as the invitation stated, but in the parish church of the sleepy village of Betchworth in Surrey, opposite my local boozer (well, local when I'm down there), The Dolphin.
And some of Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine's "Rubbish" video was filmed right here in sunny Bethnal Green...but I guess that's hardly surprising, sal'-ov-the-erf types that they were.

On Golden Pond was filmed on Squam Lake, where my family's lakehouse is -- we canoed over to gawking distance to see the Fondas and the Hepburn, but I was too young to know who they were.
We spent an hour or so stuck in traffic once in Boston while they filmed a chase scene for Spenser For Hire (not a movie, though, and not my hometown, just nearby).

It's on the same block as my old high school in Berwyn, IL. Thought I'd never go back again, but I'm buying a house there.
Also, members of the band Survivor went to that school. It's like a big holding bucket for suburban kitsch.

Loads of stuff has been filmed in Edinburgh, but a couple of years back an episode of gritty John Hannah detective drama Rebus was filmed in my street. They pretended to burn a flat down; watching the pyrotechnics being filmed was very impressive.

Quatermass 2 (1957)
"Professor Bernard Quatermass is still angry that the British government won't green-light his Moonbase project when he discovers that someone has built a working replica of his project at Wynnerton Flats. And now some mysterious meteorites have fallen on the area - could the two be linked? Quatermass investigates and discovers that the plant is producing synthetic food for a race of aliens hoping to invade the planet - aliens who have started to possess key government officials..."
