Which movie scene was shot in YOUR hometown? An interactive map shows where more than 300 famous films around the world were filmed

From the village with the smallest castle to the town with the most pubs, many of our hometowns have weird and wonderful claims to fame.

But unbeknownst to many residents, several cities and towns have played host to some iconic movie scenes.

Now there’s an interactive map called the ‘CineMapper‘ has been revealed, revealing the locations around the world that brought famous movie moments to life.

Tim Hughes, the map’s creator, told MailOnline: ‘There are 313 films, TV shows and video games, and we’re adding almost 100 new locations every week.’

So, which famous movie was shot in your hometown? Try the interactive map below to find out.

The map is the brainchild of Tim Hughes, who was inspired to create it in 2021 after posting about filming locations on TikTok.

“I create online content about films (@whoshughes) and in one TikTok I discussed Star Wars locations you can visit in the UK,” he explained.

“This TikTok got over 1 million views, so I turned it into a TikTok series and eventually created a Google Map to document them.

“Two years later, my web app developer friend Izzy said he could help turn it into a real web app.

“We started sharing CineMapper and it went semi-viral again!”
