Your Favorite Film Locations?

you know how sometimes the location makes the movie, or at least makes it that much better? which movies stick out in your mind that had locations that really stuck out as a really great aspect of the film?

or in the case of common locations, (ie: nyc) which movies made the best use of them?

i'm completely obsessed with locations

my list:

the talented mr. ripley : venice, rome, all over italy !!!
GF2, the deep end, a place in the sun : lake tahoe CA
once upon a time in the west : monument valley, utah (HOLY SHIT!!)
hud: rural west texas
the great gatsby : newport rhode island
heat, chinatown : GREAT, very different use of LA
mean streets, GF2: east village and little italy, nyc
baby doll : benoit MISS, and stockton CA
the notebook: south carolina
a river runs through it: all over montana, and wyoming
paradise now: nablus, palestine
the misfits: reno and surrounding nevada desert (this one blew me away)


there are tons more but these come to mind right away.

yours?

Chinatown is definitely a good use of LA, and it also looks good in Chinatown wannabes (and great films in their own right) Devil in a Blue Dress, and L.A. Confidential.
I think Italy looks better in A Room With A View than The Talented Mr Ripley. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out.

I love locations that are familiar (which basically limits things to New Zealand and Melbourne), I thought Heavenly Creatures looked great. I used to live across the road from the house that the Hulmes lived in, and have romped in the same gardens they romped in, and run down the same pier they ran down. I've also been in the park where the mother was murdered. It's quite a cool feeling to be basically wandering around in a film set.
