dates back to 1906 when James Dunsmuir
purchased the land along with his wife
Laura James hired architect Samuel
McClure to construct a Scottish baronial
style mansion on the estate if you’re a

notice some similarities between the
Hatley Castle and Xavier school for
gifted youngsters the castle was not

Generation X but has also appeared in
several x-men theatrical releases since
1995 the site has acted as the grounds

number 5 the Sundance Film Festival Park
City Utah USA while several high-profile
film festivals easily could have made
this list Sundance
stands out above all the rest founded in
1978 with the great Robert Redford
acting as chairman this film festival
was largely established to shine the
spotlight on independent films and
documentaries
since then Sundance has helped put
numerous directors on the map including
Quentin Tarantino Kevin Smith and Paul
Thomas Anderson it also provided a
launching point for films like The Blair
Witch Project little miss sunshine and
get out of course the movies are just
part of the reason to attend Sundance as
Utah’s various theaters and community at

just remember to pack some heavy
clothing there’s kind of like a
Cinderella moment where your audience
sees your film for the first time it’s
just an incredible experience number
four the Stanley Hotel Estes Park
Colorado USA for Stanley Kubrick’s
adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining
the Timberline Lodge in Oregon was used
for the Overlook Hotels exterior shots
however it was the Stanley Hotel that
inspired the sinister setting of kings
original novel as a result the seemingly
ordinary Hotel gained a haunted
reputation that’s attracted various
paranormal investigators there’s
definitely some kind of energy or
something going around that’s not you
know other people to give fans of the
full shining experience the Stanley
Hotel offers guided ghost tours and
installed a hedge maze in 2015
don’t count on seeing any blood in the
elevators though while it didn’t appear
in the 1980 film the hotel did provide
the exterior of the 1997 shining
miniseries and can also be seen in other
movies like Dumb and Dumber

number three the Warner Brothers Studio
Tour London the making of Harry Potter
leaves Dhin Hartford cheer England that

never want to leave mischief managed
number two the Lord of the Rings tours
New Zealand
Harry Potter isn’t the only Fantasy
franchise that can become a reality as
many film fans already know Peter
Jackson primarily shot the Lord of the
Rings and Hobbit trilogy z– in New
Zealand
thus the island country has become a hot
spot for the phenomenon known as Tolkien
tourism people are free to visit several
sites that appeared on the big screen
including Mountain guru high and the
Hobbiton movie set so technically you
could walk from the Shire to Mount Doom
just like Frodo to add another layer of
authenticity to their tour of
middle-earth some fans like to travel
dressed as their favorite characters
it’s like cosplay but on a much more
epic scale newzealand that’s where they
has where they made Lord of the Rings I
say we just moved there before we get to
our top pick here are some honorable
mentions it’s a good baseball field way
it’s kind of pretty isn’t it well it’s a
nice little place you’ve got here
this is really a great city I’m hearing
anybody say it’s just really a knockout
you know it’s number one Hollywood Los
Angeles California USA when people think
about the magic of moviemaking the
Hollywood sign is probably the first
thing that comes to mind of course if

Walk of Fame be sure to stop in front of
Grauman’s Chinese Theatre the Griffith
Observatory which was featured in movies
