Movie Memorabillia

Today my husband and I took the time to find the house from Marley & Me (it's local) and I became so overly excited because I love that story and movie so much. (Minus the very end)

Is there any piece of movie memorabilia or location that has made you gush like an 11 year old girl?

  • The bench where Forrest Gump sat in Savannah, GA. Love!

  • I went to Virginia Tech and Mountain Lake Resort is close by.  That is the hotel where they filmed Dirty Dancing.  I squealed like a little girl when I went up there with some friends.  I was so excited to see that place.

  • Parts of Annie were filmed at Monmouth University... one of the halls was Daddy Warbuck's mansion.  I was on a college tour and got so excited when I recognized the big white stairs!
  • When I was visiting family down in California, my cousins and I scouted around Long Beach for Dexter filming locations. It was really exciting, even though I couldn't totally place many of the houses.

  • We were on a movie set a couple of years ago and didn't realize it.  We were staying a hotel and almost drove by it because they had changed the name for the movie.  There were several hotel scenes in the movie and it was fun to watch knowing that we had sort of been a part of it.

    This!  Except I went to Radford.

    Also, I worked at Union Station when they were filming Hannibal and The Recruit (Colin Farrel!!!).  That was quite a production. 

  • When one of my best friends got married in Estes Park, CO, a couple of years of us and a bunch of us went to the Stanley Hotel.  It's the hotel that Steven King based "The Shining" on (supposedly it's haunted) but it's ALSO where they filmed some scenes from Dumb and Dumber.  My friends and I reinacted the scene where Lloyd and Harry are running up the big staircase, pulling each other down.  lol.

    My ex boyfriend went to VT and he took me there it was gorgeous, and I def squealed like a little girl as well

  • I just happened to be staying in a hotel in Chicago that looked over the filming of Transformers 3.  It was pretty awesome (even though I don't care for those movies).

  • The bench from Forrest Gump was a big one. I also loved seeing the Mercer Williams house when we were in Savannah.I went to college where they filmed some of the training camp scenes from the original Brian's Song.They filmed parts of A League of Their Own in southern Indiana, close to where I grew up.  I also went with some friends and found the house from Prancer--it's in northern Indiana. I was ridiculously excited about that. :) 
  • Airborne was filmed at my school during class and all the halls were still open so you could just walk right past the rooms they were filming in. That same school was the school from MTVs 'Taking the Stage' and I pretty much rolled my eyes the whole time I was watching it because it was a pretty horrible representation of the school. I've only been to NYC once, but I squealed pretty much the whole time......I know, I'm a dork.

  • White Palace takes place in St. Louis so I know some of those scenes.  Also, when I was in Minneapolis/St. Paul we went and found the apartment of Mary Tyler Moore from the MTM show.  It wasn't too hard to find with a guidebook! 
  • I saw a lot of filming when I lived in DC and worked in Boston.

    Most memorable for me would be my visit to Mackinac Island to visit the Grand Hotel. This is where the movie "Somewhere in Time" was filmed with Christopher Reeve and Jayne Seymour. I just loved that movie! When we were on the ferry, the closer we got to the island the image of the Grand Hotel became clearer and clearer. Have to say I did have tears in my eyes.

  • When I was in Seattle we found the house on the water that Tom Hanks lived in.  In San Francisco we found the view of colorful houses that they showed on the beginning of  "Full House" (we were looking for the "Party of Five" house, but couldn't find it...).

    They filmed parts of A League of Their Own in southern Indiana, close to where I grew up.  

    I met the woman who was the inspiration for the main character, the pitcher, in that movie. She lives close to me.

    I saw George Clooney and Ryan Gosling filming Ides of March here in Cincinnati. It's supposed to be out soon.

    I can't think of any others just yet though.

    This is so awesome!!  

  • I forgot the most important one of all!  I went on the Sound of Music Tour in Salzburg!!!

    So I have a picture of myself in front of the Sixteen going on Seventeen Gazebo, the street maria danced down singing Confidence, the cathedral where Maria and the Captain were married, the row of trees the children played in, etc. etc. etc.
