What we love about these images is they range from stunningly beautiful, to dramatic, to even creepy. All the necessary sets for a successful movie. Kinda makes you wish we had more Hollywood camera crews floating around, huh? Tell us though, do you have any memories of a famous film that took over your community? Or maybe you have a few suggestions of your own. Tell us all about it!
