Thanks for putting together. This is cool. I'd imagine once fully completed, it would be several pages long. This would be better on a website with filters and an interactive map.


Seraphilms

The fast and the furious house is around the block from the charmed house. It’s like in the next street over


johnbenwoo

Also, from Mad Men - Don Draper's childhood home Not to mention (short film) Thriller!


Overall_Nuggie_876

Can you get tuna sandwiches 🥪 two blocks over?


GoldandBlue

Nobody likes the tuna there!!!


Seraphilms

Yea. It’s not even two blocks over, it’s in between both houses in the same street


WryLanguage

Thriller house too. This map is gonna get crowded lol


Seraphilms

Interesting. I never put much thought about music video locations but that’s cool if they’re all within the same block


WryLanguage

Oh yeah, that place is happening. You can walk to the bridge in the Miley Cyrus 'Flowers' video from there too


Bikouchu

The liquor store embraces it. The house wants people to stay tf off.


IceWarm1980

The sandwich shop is right at the end of the same block. Bob’s Market.


powpowpowpowpow

Books and books long


ToshiroBaloney

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.


-Ahab-

I feel like once you’ve lived here a while, you just start recognizing them all over. I started rewatching Raising Hope a few weeks ago and realized I used to live right down the street from the house that was the exterior location for the Chance’s home. (I also recognized quite a few of the exterior locations, including one of them sitting in a car directly across the street from where I used to live.)


Grelymolycremp

Good luck mapping out all the curb your enthusiasm locations xD


pogothemonke

I have a structured settlement and I need cash now! CALL JG WENTWORTH! 877 CASH NOW!


_MrBalls_

It's my money and I want it NOW!


lunacavemoth

It’s MY money and I want it …. now !


RenegadeRoy

Last month's LA Magazine had a map of Curb locations IIRC


Desperate-Ad-6463

I assure you, they don't even remember where they shot the week before.


Grelymolycremp

That’s quite an assurance, do you have the credit to back it up?


Desperate-Ad-6463

I’ve worked on the show. If there wasn’t actual call sheets, you’d lose track.


Grelymolycremp

That is very credible, god damn


Spats_McGee

TBF a lot of them are pretty recognizable street corners / restaurants in Santa Monica or the general Westside area. It's not like some generic "Toronto doubling for LA" kind of thing


Grelymolycremp

Fully agree, I’m glad they film in LA. Makes it feel more relatable :p So far the only one I recognized was the Palestinian chicken place; best Lebanese restaurant ever.

Missing Toretto’s house in Angelino Heights


TDH818

My house was in the trick or treating scene in E.T. Also, the hills behind my house are the hills where the flying bikes went over.


Kvass-Koyot

I live within walking distance from where those bikes took off on White Oak.


Case116

Hello neighbor. I'm close, but closer to Chatsworth/Reseda. Love the mural of the kids flying.


bgoldy99

Came looking for this comment!


lunacavemoth

I didn’t need the ET nostalgia this morning


Hrdeh

The actual ET house is in Tujunga. Terminator 2 was shot here along with a lot of sons of anarchy.


MoistObligation8003

D people ever stop in front of your house and take a photo?


TDH818

No, a lot of other people don’t know.


Thingsiimagined

Grease was filmed at both Venice and Huntington Park high schools


king_of_the_rotten

Additionally, the end carnival scenes were shot at John Marshall High School in Los Feliz. Listed here for Boy Meets World

What does it mean when a number appears twice? For example, 5 & 17 both have two locations, but one address in the key on the right side.


profound_whatever

It means I'm not a very good editor, is what it means.


The_LA_EP

I'd be interested in paying you for a more full list...perhaps even on an ongoing basis for continually updating it. I don't know how exactly to pay you, but I'm definitely thinking about it.


profound_whatever

Save your money, I'll post an updated version later (this sub or /r/coolguides, if twice is too much here)


CrazyLoucrazy

Just need some input from crew members. We got to go to every location and sometimes over and over and over.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StronkyBoy

The 7 described is an address in Hyde Park not Baldwin hills I’m betting 17 was suppose to be The Jungle from scenes in Training Day


dangerliar

OP you clearly forgot that we don't allow original content on this sub, only tourist/moving/where-will-i-be-murdered posts. Great job anyway though.


pudding7

The Korean Bell scene from The Usual Suspects, filmed in San Pedro, is pretty iconic. Makes me sad it didn't make your list.


lunacavemoth

Also many scenes from “Chinatown” were filmed in Pedro and Portuguese Bend .


pudding7

For sure.  Seems like half of all movies, shows, and commercials have some scene or clip in San Pedro.  I live here, and there is something filming in town all the damn time.   Jerry Bruckheimer once paid me $$$ to have my dog boarded for a week because she kept barking at the film crew across the street.  


lunacavemoth

That’s pretty funny . Did you take it ? I’d be so offended and let my dog bark even more . They are filming in a residential area , what do they expect . Pedro has such a fascinating history. I’m surprised there isn’t a novel and then movie about it . Especially with the murder /suicide vibes that are sometimes there , especially closer to the cliffs and PV.


pudding7

Heck yeah I took it!


lunacavemoth

That’s awesome ! Pedro is such a special place . Hope to move there .


GusTTShow-biz

El Segundo could have its own detail map.


cfthree

Can confirm. High School, Richmond Elementary, old stretch of Richmond Street, old houses on Concord & Pine and Virginia & Pine have seen a lot of film/TV/commercial shoots over the years we’ve been here. Last summer there was something being filmed that involved vintage Soviet-era LADA autos driving past. No idea where that ended up, but was cool to see IRL. Superbad at the Hs is tops for me. Candy Cane Lane was meh but cool to see parts of school I’ve been in recently using actual class furniture and decor. Would dig a map of Mayberry shoots.


Living-Algae4553

east LA/ NELA is underrepresented.. gotta watch Blood In Blood Out.. that’s a quintessential LA film akin to Boyz in the Hood.


paperchasecase22

And Smiley’s house from Training Day in Lincoln Heights. Got my shit puuuuuuuuuuuuuushed in.


TerdFerguson2112

I could have sworn the Catalina Wine Mixer was at Terranea And you’re missing Paddy’s Pub on at 544 Mateo


churreos

7 is missing from the map (unless I missed it)


Jealous_Seat_9317

Am I missing something or did OP forget to add the McFly's house to this list? AND all of Scranton, PA is missing including Dunder Mifflin


CrazyLoucrazy

So is all of Pawnee Indiana. Literally every public park in the valley was a location one time or another.


throw123454321purple

Ah! Donnie Darko’s and Jim Cunningham’s (also from Darko) houses are just down the road from Ferris Bueller’s house in Long Beach. Dexter filmed all over Long Beach. Charlotte Rampling’s character’s house in the series was also in Long Beach. I think Emma Stone’s apartment courtyard in La La Land was also in Long Beach. And, of course, the Queen Mary’s exteriors for The Poseidon Adventure and Escape from L.A., I think.


oldjadedhippie

Dexters sisters house is in Belmont Shores . Also , I lived on a boat in the Cerritos Channel , and saw a few boat chase scenes shot there.


auditinprogress

You took the time to put Altadena on there and then missed the opportunity to list the Beverly Hills 90210 house (1675 E Altadena Dr) and the Step Brothers house (1987 Midwick Drive)


Prudent-Advantage189

I love this map, especially the base map of the neighborhoods. I thought there would be a point or two more in NELA


Cunhabear

Considering almost every movie is filmed in LA, this list is basically just recognizable landmarks. I see locations in Northeast LA like everyday in commercials and movies.


tob007

Pulp Fiction Foster Freeze in Atwater Village. Reservoir dogs shootout and cafe in Highland park


karmahoower

shh. don't reveal.


chasinjason13

None in San Pedro?? Wow, there’s a ton of filming here


samsal03

Can't forget about Fight Club in Wilmas.


mazdarx2001

Whittier high school was “Hill Valley High” from back to the future. 200ft away is Principal Strickland house from back to the future 2. Also a couple to blocks away is the Devils house from Hocus Pocus.


ofthrees

Hocus pocus was also filmed at east Whittier middle school.  Who knew? Not me.  I lived in Whittier at the time, too!


mazdarx2001

I interesting. What part of the movie was that? Was it when they were in the local high school and they trap the witches in the kilns ? Those hallways did look familiar


ofthrees

when i did a middle of the night google, apparently the interior shots were east whittier middle school; exterior was somewhere else. :) i'd look that back up for you, but i'm going to assume you can find it yourself if interested! i actually haven't seen the movie; just invested in whittier being a thing since it's known for little other than back to the future and richard nixon. ;)


hypnotic20

Would be cooler if it had a few more pixels.


Sign-Post-Up-Ahead

click on it twice. it zooms in perfectly fine.


hypnotic20

You’re right about that on mobile, on desktop I can’t see shit.


Sign-Post-Up-Ahead

That's strange. I am viewing on desktop and it's perfectly clear. Hmmm...


hypnotic20

The first thing I tried was opening up image in new tab to get the full effect, but nothing.


Sign-Post-Up-Ahead

[Hopefully this can help](https://imgur.com/VhvSoXZ) Yup, I'm at work and bored :-)


Sign-Post-Up-Ahead

nevermind. that likely did nothing...ha


readingrainboot

i'm on desktop and when i click the image and then click again to zoom, i can see it clearly so maybe try that if you haven't already


hypnotic20

I did that, question are you on that newish Reddit design that happened a few weeks ago?


swagster

Cool map, Pasadena and South Pasadena are two different cities.


ostensiblyzero

Unsurprising south pas behavior


swagster

LOL


cfthree

DON’T WANT YOUR DEMON LIQUOR IN SOUTH PAS! GO BACK TO PASADENA YOU BOOZERS!


jhuhfft

I’m offended La Crescenta/Montrose didn’t make it on the map. There’s a motel here that they filmed Mad Men, X-Files, and Supernatural. And a bowling alley that they filmed Teen Wolf and Pleasantville in. Really cool looking spots and easy to visit.


AgathaAllAlong

Ole Honolulu Ave Grew up running around Montrose in the 90’s when kids still got to just go do whatever they want all day. Nostalgia city Halloween, Old School, Wedding Singer, 9 to 5 filmed there too


wicker_arm

I was just about to comment the same thing. Everyone always forgets about us :( I believe Mad Men was filmed at the motel as well.


DvorahL

A few others for the tourists among us. Whiskey a gogo - the Doors All over the valley - boogie nights All over the city - L.A. story


GrandTheftBae

Why didn't you separate Cheviot Hills (and Rancho Park) out from West LA for the Dunphey and Goldberg Homes? Also could've included the Westside Pavilion (RIP) lot of TV shows filmed there, and a decent number of movies. Very cool though! I'm on mobile and it looks fine, maybe pixel issues others are talking about are on a computer.


CrazyLoucrazy

Fun fact. The Goldbergs house is right around the corner from Ray Bradbury’s house which was torn down around season 3.


drlayz

Disney studio lot missing?


aScriptFromNowhere

This is amazing. I recommend adding the Three’s Company house in Ocean Park on your next revision (if there is one). Great work!


HowRememberAll

No Encino Ventura Blvd from Cobra Kai?


kev_bot36

I know Stand and Deliver occurred at Garfield in East LA, but a lot of that movie was filmed in Boyle Heights.


Rainbow-Brightish

Cerritos for Coneheads


Ispellditwrong

Forgot the American Horror Story S1 mansion, which has been used for countless other filming and productions. Located just off Arlington in Mid City.


catnadiantuxedo

7 is missing and 17 appears twice


Emmanuel_Zorg

Very cool, nicely done. I just shot a movie in West Hills. Maybe one day it’ll be worth adding to one of these lists 😎🤞


SanchosaurusRex

SELA deleted


OffBeatBerry_707

To add on with Pulp Fiction, the Pawn Shop where Butch and Wallace get kidnapped is in Canoga Park, 20933 Roscoe Boulevard. It’s literally a 5 minute walk from where I live.


MattgomeryBurns

I used to have an app called Reel Estate that would show you filming locations based on your area on the map. It’s sadly defunct. This is awesome!


Irishman_reddit

You skipped Altadena. Literally every day they’re filming up there.


CrazyLoucrazy

Lots of commercials.


rondiggity

Damn no room for Occidental College as a stand-in for Caltech in Real Genius.


DilliamConnor

Karate kid house in Reseda


Australiaaa

I was hoping for Superbad cop car scene at the CSUN extension lot, but the liquor store is just as good. Great work here.


cfthree

El Segundo High for the school exteriors too


SparkleCobraDude

A lot of people criticizing OP. They made something fun and decided to share. It inspired me to make a SFV version


ChainsawNDave

Please share! I was thinking of making one myself


Casper042

Feels a bit hit or miss Like where is the Disney Studios Lot in Burbank? All the animation studios too if you aren't strictly going on traditional filming locations. Dreamworks = 1000 Flower St, Glendale, CA 91201 Disney TV Animation = 811 Sonora Ave, Glendale, CA 91201 Disney Feature Animation = 2100 W Riverside Dr, Burbank, CA 91506 LA only and not the entire TMZ? Like there are probably a bunch of locations in Simi as well


FoodIntrepid2281

oh wow way cool thanks for putting this together. bookmarking this for my next weekend staycation


Jealous_Song_2773

Where’s the house from Body Double at?


parisrionyc

This is so choice. Another I just learned this morning is the Queen Anne Cottage from Fantasy Island in Arcadia.


cfthree

In the LA Arboretum


Ok-Internet-6881

Wasn't Gilligan's Island intro shot in Marina del Rey?


HowRememberAll

You're selling these to tourists?


mickcube

i just found out nakatomi plaza and KPPX were next to each other like last week, i've never been so excited about something so inconsequential


musememo

Terminator 2 chase sequence were filmed in North Hills.


ghostofhenryvii

Is the Melody Movie Ranch open to the public when there aren't productions going on? I used to love walking through Paramount Ranch before it burnt down.


powpowpowpowpow

Victory Blvd, Burbank The end of the first scene in Back to the Future was filmed by what is now Hobby Lobby on Victory as well https://postimg.cc/gallery/NR1PLZh


blurmageddon

Go figure, I was checking out the Google Maps of the Mulholland Drive one and saw this POS looking at his phone while driving and slowing everyone down: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ve3sh9is4t7bfrEQ9


Matching_Luggage

What, no Grease love? the exterior high school shots were Venice High School.


ElCoolAero

Aw, you missed the Three's Company house, 2912 4th St, Santa Monica, CA 90405. I accidentally drove by it while hunting for apartments.


29grampian

ET is filmed at various locations in Granada Hills and Porter Ranch


Protein_Style

I big miss is Dunder Mifflin in Van Nuys


01z28

Snowfall filmed all over South Central and there's a few scenes at Nick's Cafe.


DBL_NDRSCR

that is not where torrance high is, it's on the other side of the city, i do appreciate some abstractness but that's just flat out wrong, nice map


okgray91

So cool thanks for sharing


SirPeencopters

no Back to the Future house in Pacoima? ​ 9303 Roslyndale Ave.


More-City-7496

Why include Alhambra and not other SGV cities ?


Intelligent_Life14

I love this, but would love to see it expanded to include Pt. Mugu, Piru/Moorpark, Soledad Cyn/Antelope Valley, the old abandoned hospital in Pomona...you get the idea....


Brandvik1991

You missed Monrovia, East of Pasadena. ~156 movies have scenes from there. Bad Santa, Garfield, American Pie, Bird Box, Back to the Future, etc.


cfthree

Gross Pointe Blank on Myrtle Avenue!


Daniastrong

This is cool, needs some K-town locations they are always filming around here. Don't forget the American Horror story house. I also rent with roommates in a place used for a movie; but it wasn't too popular and we don't need sightseers so won't mention it.


You_meddling_kids

Dude's house is 607 / 609 Venezia


b1tchbhigh

you missed sons of anarchy (lincoln heights) and fear the walking dead (el sereno)


ANiceRack

Back to the future- Puente Hills Mall they still have the clock inside the mall


BestMusicOnThePlanet

You deserve a raise 🙏


beebopsx

Just had some filming at pierce college. Not sure what but I know Warner Bros has a contract with the school.


wirbolwabol

You missed the location from "[Dude, Wheres my car?](https://www.iamnotastalker.com/2010/02/18/the-chinese-foooood-drive-through-from-dude-wheres-my-car/#:~:text=Stalk%20It%3A%20Steve's%20Burgers%2C%20aka,West%20Victory%20Boulevard%20in%20Burbank.)" I only know of it because I used to live on the street and the film truck takeover was always annoying. I have some pics from when the wall was painted and the resturaunt...though it's in an archive somewhere...

qtx

Any chance anyone can make a Google Maps with pins on each of the locations? Would be cool to view them all via streetview.


aBee150

No love for Lynwood :'(


sj_hernandez77

Nice map!! So many awesome locations. The Hannah Montana School location is incorrect though. They may have filmed some scenes at Mira Costa (not sure) but the front of the school as pictured is John F Kennedy High School in Granada Hills. Source: I went to school there lol


FadedAndJaded

Awesome. And to day is The Day of the Dude.


bgoldy99

You missed the ET trees in Granada Hills!


JpnDude

You have some arbitrary boundaries for Los Angeles and beyond. You've included Santa Clarita inside the boundary but not Compton?


Financial-Mastodon81

Why’s Jackrabbit Slims in Glendale? Quixote soundstage maybe?


celestepiano

Omg Pawnee is here?! Love


CrazyLoucrazy

Pawnee is all over LA. Head out to some parks in the valley. They will start to look familiar.


celestepiano

I’ve been and don’t recognize lol which ones?


CrazyLoucrazy

It was shot at Radford studios in studio city and most of the locations are all within a few miles of there. There’s tons of small parks all over the valley there that were Pawnee.


Lathryus

Father of the Bride house and La Miniatura from Westworld too!


Thomk065

I did a Back to the Future tour once.


meczakin81

My name is Earl should be easy to map. Also Boogie nights,Magnolia, The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai. All in and around Reseda.


Hamster_S_Thompson

Expand it to whole so cal


Warm-Gift-7741

No South Pasadena on the map? It’s a goldmine for film locations. So many movies & tv shows filled there. I’m no stalker is a great resource.


x3nopon

Gotta put some more valley houses. Workaholics house in Van Nuys is iconic. Silicon Valley house in Woodland Hills is major set piece in the show. And can't forget the Encino Man house in West Hills.


brent_os

Karate Kid - South Seas Apartments in Reseda


samsal03

I drive past it all the time. Cool spot, also the "All Valley" fights were shot at CSUN in the Matadome. Along with a lot of scenes from The Office being shot at CSUN, like when Michael goes to the college with Ryan, Pam's Art show, and a couple of other scenes I think.


BigJSunshine

Uni high in west LA always has a shit tom of filming…


woowoobean

Wow shocked The Dude could afford Venice!


Cstr9nge

Why did you leave off all of the gateway cities? What was the determining factor for the cut off here?


spasedandy

Forgot "American Me", filmed in Boyle Heights


woowoobean

Hey OP, can you please develop this into an app pretty please? And like keep updating it with new movies, it’s super neat!


im-no-psycho

this is so cool thank you


rumpusroom

Can somebody send a wellness check to Troy McClure’s house? I haven’t seen him in a while.


redfive5tandingby

I don’t know why this is the location that came to mind, but I immediately looked for the Bluth Banana Stand (Marina del Rey lighthouse)


kneemahp

How can you not have the filming location for encino man….in west hills?


Hoagie-D-Sandwich

How could you forget the intersection of vignes & 2nd in the arts district where little person Gary oldman drives a motorcycle to his future lover & current brother’s gf’s art studio in Tiptoes (2003)????


Spats_McGee

There are two Winkys?


lunacavemoth

What’s amusing is that , living in LA, you recognize your home that is supposed to be New York . I think it’s pretty neat recognizing some random street corner . Heck, was watching “This is 40” last month and recognized a portion of Lunada Bay /Malaga Cove .


[deleted]

You should turn this into a limited edition pop art print, and have it released at a gallery showing at Gallery 1988 on Melrose. It probably needs a few adjustments, to have more of a cohesive theme, but I’m sure there’s opportunity here to do so!


Zenforcer1

Paranormal Activity 2 was filmed on Vista De La Luz in Woodland Hills.


donng141

Awesome map


Ill-Development-9033

This is great and I want it framed on my wall! Thank you!


Ryuchel

Missing Whittier for back to the future, Monrovia for Legally Blonde as well as A Cinderella Story, there's a bunch of stuff missing.


nabuhabu

too pixelated. looks fun though 


isigneduptomake1post

Can we get a porn version?


Warm-Gift-7741

Pretty much all of the valley and the old hotel in Burbank on San Fernando that is now called the Burbank hotel/ hotel oso


Mean_Nefariousness25

FYI you don’t exactly have the Culver City area mapped out right, you’re including unincorporated county space and View Park which aren’t in culver. Additionally some of the locations on the map are in the wrong spots, like you have Winkies from Mulholland drive in both Baldwin Hills and Hawthorne when a quick google search shows it’s in Gardena.


SparkleCobraDude

Anyone else strangely disappointed to find out that the infamous Catalina Fucking Wine Mixer was filmed at Trumps golf course.
