Filming Filmed Station Location Tv Movies Lot Grand

Many American movies and TV shows are filmed in Hollywood, but there are a lot of "sites" (locations; places) across the country that are famous because they were used as filming locations in popular movies.

For example, Grand Central Station in New York City is a large "subway" (network of underground tunnels that trains travel through for public transportation) station where there are always many people "commuting" (traveling between home and work). Grand Central Station has been used as a filming location for many movies, including Superman and Armageddon.

Times Square is a very busy intersection in New York City with a lot of electronic "billboards," large signs used for advertising. Times Square has been a filming location for many movies that need to "depict" (show) a busy city, including Spiderman and Last Action Hero.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art in Pennsylvania is well known as the filming location for Rocky and its "sequels" (movies made later to continue the story in the original movie). In those movies, Rocky the "boxer" (someone who participates in boxing, which is a sport that involves hitting people very hard with special gloves) runs up the stairs at the entrance in the front of the building while he is training for an important "match" (a competition in wrestling or boxing).

Natural areas can also serve as filming locations. The desert scenes in Star Wars were filmed in Death Valley National Park in California. And Field of Dreams was filmed on a "baseball field" (the outdoor area where a baseball game is played) in Dyersville, Iowa.
