Wish he added Big Hero 6 for San Francisco. They did a super good job at getting the map accurate to San Francisco. [[Special:Contributions/199.27.133.129|199.27.133.129]] 19:19, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I think the Oregon Trail section of the map is specifically referring to the video game, because the subtitle below the main text in that map location says "The only part I ever got to." [[Special:Contributions/199.27.128.190|199.27.128.190]] 17:00, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

:That was my assumption too. It's challenging to get to the end of the game, whereas I don't know any reason to not be able to finish the movie. [[User:Smperron|Smperron]] ([[User talk:Smperron|talk]]) 16:41, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 
::I agree: I think it refers to the game. However, I will add that [https://www.teamstarkid.com/trail-to-oregon there was also a (hilarious) musical] that had come out by this time.  [[User:L-Space Traveler|L-Space Traveler]] ([[User talk:L-Space Traveler|talk]]) 13:44, 6 May 2023 (UTC)
 
  
 
Are we going to have a column for the area the square covers on the map? or a place to record whether or not the area covers the filming location or where it was set? [[Special:Contributions/199.27.133.121|199.27.133.121]] 17:57, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I think the statement "this is where the movies are set, not where they are filmed" completely misses the point.  This is a map of where the movies look like they are set.  So, some areas are where they are set (if the movie background seems to be where it's supposed to be) and some areas are where they were filmed (if there's an obvious contradiction between location and setting).  Hence, The Sandlot, for example...

Orange is the New Black is a much more convincing setting for Upstate New York, even though it isn't a movie. {{unsigned ip|173.245.56.206}}

For the record, northeast america is a pretty good guess for any Steven King movie. Lots of his stuff is set up there. I know because I am an avid reader. [[User:YourLifeisaLie|The Goyim speaks]] ([[User talk:YourLifeisaLie|talk]]) 04:18, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
I took out the line about 50 Shades being the first fan fiction book to be made into a movie. (The movie Mortal Instruments: City of Bones was a Harry Potter fan fiction.) {{[[Special:Contributions/108.162.237.144|108.162.237.144]] 15:19, 9 April 2015 (UTC)}}
 
 
 
 
 
Much (if not most) of True Grit takes place in Oklahoma, so this should at least be Oklahoma/Arkansas {{unsigned ip|173.245.56.173}}
 
 
 
I did  not watch "dazed and confused" but according to that one line in wikipedia,the cast are from austin,tx.maybe this should give a note -kai [[Special:Contributions/103.22.200.220|103.22.200.220]] 07:43, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Vermonters know that Supertroopers wasn't filmed in Vermont. Vermont doesn't have billboards. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.52.130|173.245.52.130]] 14:49, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
As noted, Field of Dreams was filmed near Dyersville, IA, which is not in NW IA, but far eastern (Dyersville is near Dubuque, which is roughly at the "bridge" of Iowa's "nose").[[Special:Contributions/172.70.131.28|172.70.131.28]] 22:25, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
