White House Down?
(Which is a brilliant terrible film)
nope not White House Down?
Oh, and the picture must come from your own collection and not be lifted off the internet. Let the arguments begin …
Just a reminder.
OAP – The Force Awakens (Sort of)
Indeed, which is also my offering for the airbase one on page one.
mrb123 - Cioch block on the the Cuillin. No idea of the film.

Yep the Rebel Base from Force Awakens is the Nuclear Missile bunkers at Greenham Common.
Ooops! Yeah Force Awakens not Rogue One.
AA first one is The Force Awakens rebel base on D'Qar in the outer rim.
Edit: way to slow.

Ok so there are clues that make naming the film reasonably straightforward but I'll be seriously impressed if you can come up with the location, nearest city will do.
It's definitely from my own collection which may help with the country.
It's not my photo, mine are all on film, but I'm claiming it because I got married there:
Guildford catherdral, The Omen.
I went to school with the guy who played Damien Omen 2 - he was British, but played an American. Years later an American guy I shared a house with confessed that he had nightmares featuring him. Last time I saw the guy he was playing Ted, the Captain's son, in a soap called Triangle, which was set on a ferry. It was desperate.
Pistonbroke. Is that the Good, the Bad and the Ugly? No idea of nearest city, Gettysburg?

Not even on the same continent 🙂
Sad. 😉
AA's bunkers could also be the unreleased Fast and Furious film. Is that iconic?
I have no idea where Pistonbroke lives! My other guess might be that it is a set from the Good the Bad and the Ugly, and that would probably place it near to Grenada, S Spain, as I think most of the Spaghetti Westerns were filmed just East of there

Layer Cake?
It is Welsh Farmer apparently there’s loads of set locations still in good condition.
Yep it's the good, the bad and the ugly or as it's called here in Spain, El Bueno, El Feo y El Malo the good, ugly and bad. The set is a military cemetery built for the movie that had become completely overgrown in the intervening 50 years. It has been fully restored and I stumbled across it during planning for a coast to coast trip I run every year. Unlike 95% of Spaghetti Westerns which were filmed in the Tabernas desert in Southern Spain, this place is 800km further north near Burgos. James Hetfield of Metallica put up most of the money for the restoration and for a contribution, you can have a cross with your name on it.
Great facts there Pistonbroke. Thanks for sharing
That last one is definitely at Sad Hill
De nada. My C2C route also runs along a section of railway line used in David Lean's Doctor Zhivago which was a very well known scene of a steam train in a snowy landscape, supposed to be the Russian steppe but due to the book being banned in Russia, they used Spain instead.
Sorry, dont have any photos
A bit of a trick one...

Old age predator- derwent water. Featured in Star Wars VII (Force awakens?) and The Beatrice Potter film.
Edit- far too slow!

Yep
Ah bollocks to it. Pic posting doesn't seem any better than it used to be
Was it Lairig Ghru - Lurchers Leap?
BWD - is that above Padiham?
Is the Local Hero phonebox in Arisaig?
No idea what film that’s from Rusty.
Welshfarmer your original pic of Vermork is back to front!
TomB - there's still one other you could have, a recent remake
@Vader lol, may well be as it is a scanned slide (so very easy to put in upside down) and my memory aint what it used to be. If so then very well spotted.
