Nope, that was set in Warsaw and filmed in Potsdam, apparently.

Didn't know that. Makes slightly more sense than World War Z casting Glasgow as [strike]Chicago[/strike] Philadelphia (according to Wikipedia, which we all know is perfect). The Pianist was on TV the other night and I watched it, which is why it sprang to mind. Good film.

Schindler's List?

[Heid the Ba]

Correct.

Another one to keep us going until Mactep posts one.

I'm going to go with the far-too-obvious.... Le Mans?

[Heid the Ba]

Very obvious, and very correct.

[Lianachan]

Here's another one that I think should be pretty easy, to keep us ticking over.

[Heid the Ba]

That's properly Welsh, that is. One of your horror films no doubt?

[Lianachan]

Well, it's, er... It... Yes.

It is an undisputed classic of the genre, though!

(I didn't realise I'd become so predictable)

[Heid the Ba]

It was the remote location that made me guess that. Wsa it set in Wales or just filmed there?

[Lianachan]

None of it is set in Wales, and not much of it is filmed there. What was filmed there, though, is pretty prominent in the film (and much loved by those of us who like the film). The main areas of interest in that link are the church with the phone box outside it, and (particularly) the first building to the left of that.

My mate Neil's guess is "An American Werewolf in London". I haven't seen it but he remembers a scene with a church and a 'phonebox.

Your mate Neil has chosen wisely. You should see it, it's a good comedy. The other building is the exterior for the pub "The Slaughtered Lamb", although the interior stuff was filmed at a pub somewhere in England.

Next up, a shout out to my hometown. The glassfronted building on the right is new, the rest is as it was in the film.

Trainspotting?

[Heid the Ba]

Correct.

[Arneb]

Dang. I could have done this, since Trainspotting is the one film (indeed, the one novel/Story/plot) I know to be set in Embra. Stupid me.

It was a complete guess for me, Arneb - the first Embra thing that sprang to mind.

This one is not, I am pleased to report, from a horror film.

[Heid the Ba]

I think we need a clue here Boss.

[Lianachan]

It stars somebody whose surname is the plural of what you can see in the link.

[Heid the Ba]

Christy Canyons?

[Lianachan]

Christy Canyons?

Nope - never heard of her. It's more to do with the road.

[Heid the Ba]

One of the Bridges?

[Lianachan]

Yup.

[Heid the Ba]

Ah, I'm not very good on the films of Les Ponts, père et fils. No doubt this is an iconic scene in a film I've watched but I'm drawing a blank.
