Sorry, I misunderstood. I though this was strictly where things were supposed to take place. My mistake.

I don't know what to think about the movie The Replacements; Set in Washington, filmed entirely in Baltimore.

The more fun thing is to discuss the geographic errors in these movies. True Lies for example, filmed in DC and the surrounding area, particularly in the scene where Arnold is riding a horse. He starts in McPherson Square, enters a building which is the mall in Georgetown (12 or 15 blocks away), and then winds up in a elevator to the top of a building across the Potomac in Crystal City. All within the span of a minute.

^I think "Driving Miss Daisy" and "Fried Green Tomatoes" was filmed in Atlanta, correct?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I am probably wrong, but I thought apart of "Fried Geen Tomatoes" took place in Valdosta, GA. Correct me if I am wrong!
