First Blood was filmed in Hope, British Columbia which is where my uncle lives. In fact portions of the movie were actually shot on his property.

Obviously this was before my time but my uncle still has a picture with Stalone (he's so tiny)

I live an hour or so away from San Francisco, so i'm lucky to live very close to the Filming Location for The Birds. American Graffiti is the most famous film I can think of that was in my hometown Petaluma. After looking on wikipedia, i really didn't realize how many movies were filmed there. A few scenes from the newest X-Files movie were actually filmed in San Francisco, my sister and I drove around a little but couldn't find them.

Several movies have been filmed in Stockton over the years. Some contained quite a bit of filming while others small portions. The downtown buildings appear in many backdrops, the delta is often used in "Vietnam" movies, and UOP has been featured several times. The following is not a complete list, but a hefty one:

All the King's Men
An American Murder
The Big Country
Bound for Glory
Cool Hand Luke
Fat City
Friendly Fire
Glory Days
God's Little Acre
High Time
Jungle Wolf II
More American Graffiti
Oklahoma Crude
Porgy & Bess
Rampage
RPM
Sam Whiskey
Strawberry Statement
The Sure Thing
Valentino's Return
Valley Girl
World's Greatest Athlete
Always
American Graffiti II
Atlanta Child Murders
Birdy
Dreamscape
Hot Shots! Part Duex
Raiders of the Lost Ark (Indiana Jone's University)
7 Brides for 7 Brothers
Skipping
This is Spinal Tap
Blood Alley
Animal House
Flubber
Dead Man on Campus
Cyote (not widely distributed)
Coast to Coast
Blind Man Sees Farthest (short flick)
And who could forget "The Big Valley"?
Take the Money and Run
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry

According to Wikipedia, "Rob Schneider collapsed from heat exhaustion and food poisoning on the set in Stockton on June 29, 2006. During the filming, temperatures in the Stockton area hit record highs of 115 degrees. Stockton became so hot during the shoot that Schneider provided unlimited bottled water, umbrellas, and medics to apply sunscreen every 3 hours to the cast and crew."

Yeah, that's how hot my hometown gets. Enough to melt a former cast member of Saturday Night Live, Oh yeah, baby!

Not a bad list, for being # 1 Forbes Magazine worst city to live in the United States for 2008-2009 (we got bumped down to #5 now, Vegas took that spot now).
