In Letchworth Garden City here - we've had 'The Worlds End' with Simon Pegg & bits of Top Gear filmed around the streets. We do actually have UKs first roundabout - not a lot of people know that.........
Sheffield.
between them, The Full Monty and Four Lions have it pretty much covered.
As for scenes from movies, I used to work in Thurrock and the small church from Four Weddings and a Funeral was next to the car park for Proctor & Gamble chemical works. That in itself looks like the chemical works from Batman were jack Nicholson falls in the green goop and becomes the Joker.
I swear that A League of Gentlemen and Royston Vasey is actually a fly on the wall documentary about Hereford.
I can only think of this exquisite show of culture
'Penda's Fen' (named after Pinvin village nr Pershore) was set in the Malvern area.
Oddly enough one of the most bizarre films I think I've seen. Saw it first as a kid and the images haunted me long after.
Rather upsetting really, but it's either "Angela's Ashes" or some 'hard hitting crime report' about gangland crime. I'm entirely unaware of something good and uplifting coming out of Limerick. Although, there was a brilliant music video by Fox Jaw called 'Hatch Sixteen'.
Lots of period dramas
That one with the cheekbones and his hobbit mate doing Sherlock the other month
and lots more period dramas
That's all very interesting, but the question was not what's been filmed there, but films about the area where you live. 😀

Boardin Bob will be along in a minute to claim 'The Scheme' 😯
I really don't know of any documentaries.
There was a shortlived kids' sitcom - Graham's Gang in the 70s. It was filmed locally and some kids from my school were extras. They filmed an episode in the local park, which we tried our best to sabotage, being the little Leigh Park hooligans we were.

Mine is about where I live - and not even about somewhere near where I live, I live where that was filmed 😉
Well Howards Way is essentially a documentary as what happened in it happens in real life down here..
Anyways, whats wrong with opening it up a bit?
movie about? or movie filmed on location in?
documentaries about = probably loads (countryfile for certain).
movies about = probably must be something wartime, edit: and half the dickens stuff
movies/tv filmed "on location" = shed loads (think there was a thread not that long ago?) - call the midwife and james bond filmed in basically the exact same spot for starters.
(where on location means pretending to be somewhere totally different)
ps that's for back home. no idea for here, cos I don't watch German TV/movies.
Whistle Down the Wind and some shmaltz with James Bolam were filmed in Downham just up the road. Lord and Lady Clitheroe own the place and they don't allow tv aerials etc in the village
this cheery piece of social commentary.
Think I may have "won" this one gents ... 🙂
