quality cafe
from training day posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Denzel and the rookie have breakfast here at LA's Quality Cafe at the beginning of Training Day. It is no longer a functioning diner, but it still shows up in plenty of movies including Seven, Ghost World, (500) Days of Summer and many others.
the truman house
from the truman show posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Much of The Truman Show was shot in and around Seaside, Florida on the gulf coast. You'll find Truman's house on Natchez Street not far from the filming locations for Seahaven's downtown square.
seahaven downtown
from the truman show posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Although the simulated reality town of Seahaven in The Truman Show looks as if it could have been shot on a studio lot, it was actually filmed in Seaside, a planned community on Florida's panhandle. Seaside's central square served as Seahaven's downtown. A lot of the buildings, including Seahaven Life & Casualty where Jim Carrey worked, were just facades constructed for the movie, but if you visit, you can stop in at Modica Market (aka Goodies) where Marlon stocked shelves.
shawarma palace
from the avengers posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
This is the restaurant where the Avengers assemble for some shawarma after the fight in New York. The post-credit scene was filmed at Elat Burger in Los Angeles and was shot after the movie had already premiered just sixteen days before it was released.
star wars cantina exterior
from star wars, a new hope posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Ajim, a ferry port on the island of Djerba, Tunisia, was transformed into the streets of Mos Eisely for the filming of A New Hope. The exterior of the cantina where Obi Wan and Luke first meet Han Solo is currently an unused building in need of repair. Interiors were shot at Elstree Studios.
Some nerdy trivia: the full name of the cantina is Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina named after its owner, a wookie named Chalmun.
