The IMDB Top 250 Movie Map

Contrary to popular belief, not all movies are filmed in LA, New York, or London. Between all of IMDB's top 250 movies, there are thousands of filming locations all over the world. The top ten movies alone used over 155 filming locations, and some might surprise you: Batman Begins was largely filmed in Iceland (who would have guessed?), and The Exorcist was partly filmed in Iraq. Some of your favorite movies might have been filmed across the Middle East, Africa, or Asia.



Whether you're or a total movie buff, or just enjoy a good film (and let's be honest, who doesn't?), check out your favorite movies' filming locations using this interactive map, created by the nice folks over at Travelex Currency Exchange. You can either sort through the list of IMDB's top 250 movies on the right to find your favorite movies' filming locations, or you can simply click on a filming location on the map to see what was shot there. You might even find some filming locations near you.
