I love movies. When I travel, I often see what movies were filmed at those places and visit the exact location of famous shots. I also love movie props and the interesting furniture and set pieces used to create the mood. Did you know others have the same enjoyment?

Here’s some resources if you’re interested in visiting your favorite movie locations and bits.

• Latitude and Longitude gives exact lat/long coordinates of tons of movies; especially my favorite spaghetti westerns like For a Few Dollars More.
