Where I lived in Tennessee they filmed part of the Jungle Book. A tiger also got loose while they were filming and it took them a day to get him back.
A ton of movies have been made where I live now, in Chicago. It would be fruitless to try and name them all. I am sure I don't know them all. Anything by John Hughes is a given tho.

I second that! I grew up on the North shore and all those Hughes flix were basically in our back yards. I always wondered how outsiders felt about them, since we all took them them a little more to heart.
