Do you love the movies? Do you watch movies and want to know what happened behind the scenes and where? Maybe a travel goal for you is to visit a movie set in every state or in countries that you visit? If you do, let us know so we can recognize you as a Travel Goal Getter Record Holder! Travel Goal Getter has compiled a list of just some of these movie or TV locations per state and around the world. Our list is not meant to be an exhaustive list - there are just too many! If you need more, check out www.movie-locations.com or www.movielocationsguide.com. Both of these sites allow you to search by movie name to find out information about the movie and its filming locations. Please contact us if you know of a site we should list on this page. Thanks to member Garry Ardnt for his many movie recommendations!
