The Shining

Stanley Kubrick’s chilling horror classic is set in the Timberline Lodge in the Oregon mountains. Approaching this domineering structure brings to mind the movie’s thrills and chills and leaves you feeling a certain affinity with the trapped characters.

Braveheart

This famous historical movie recounting the story of William Wallace is set almost entirely in Scotland. You can visit the rugged landscapes and haunting scenery of the film around Loch Leven and Glen Coe in the highlands.

The Lord of the Rings

One of the most successful trilogies in movie history, the Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand. Epic landscapes were used all over the country, many of which are almost inaccessible. But the top places to visit are Tongariro National Park (with its three volcanoes) providing the setting for Mordor, the Southern Alps which were the misty mountains, and Alexander Farm as the Shire.

University of Southern California

The beautiful campus of USC and the proximity to downtown LA makes it the perfect setting for all sorts of movies. Once you step foot onto it you will immediately recognize it from movies like Legally Blonde, The Graduate, Forrest Gump, The Social Network, many TV shows like Entourage and more! So go back to college for a day and see where all your favorite movie stars walked and talked. 

Vasquez Rocks

Vasquez Rocks is a really beautiful location and definitely gives off a sci-fi feel. For this point exactly it was the backdrop to several scenes in Star Trek in both the movie and the television series. Located in northern Los Angeles County, it’s a great place to go if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city while still feeling connected to Hollywood. 

Bradbury Building

The Bradbury Building in downtown LA is an atrium-style building that is over 125 years old and is still in use today on a daily basis as well as in the movies. The gorgeous architecture has been featured in movies like Blade Runner, 500 Days of Summer, The Artist, and many more.
