the belfort house
from the wolf of wall street posted in movies by tacopolis
Just down the street from the Brookville Country Club, this address was Jordan Belfort's home during the years that The Wolf of Wall Street is based on.
The producers felt this home "wasn't as grand" as they hoped for the filming, so they got another home nearby to substitute as the exteriors used in the film.
See the home here.

from beaches (1988) posted in movies by tacopolis
The tear-jerker/Bette Midler movie soundtrack vehicle Beaches (1988) filmed several scenes at the rental cottages of Crystal Cove State Park (specifically, it was Cottage #13).
The 45 different cottages were built in the 1930s and recently renovated for rentals. A restaurant, the Beachcomber Café, is located in one of the converted cottages and looks out on the ocean.
“charlie don’t surf”
from apocalypse now posted in movies by tacopolis
When Francis Ford Coppola shot Apocalypse Now in 1979, he probably didn't realize he was going to give birth to the surfing industry in the Philippines.
One of the iconic moments of the film features Colonel Kilgore trying to convince his men to surf the beach as bombs and bullets fly.
After the filming wrapped up at this location, the crew left some of the surfboards behind. Some locals picked up the boards, and started surfing the break, now nicknamed "Charlie's Point." The beach has since become a tourist draw for surfing.
