Welcome to Filming Locations Detectives myspace page! This page is dedicated to the many cult and blockbuster films I have enjoyed and still enjoy watching from time to time. As a big film enthusiast, it never fails to elate me to identify personally visit and walk in the hallowed grounds of various locations used in my favourite films. With this in mind, I would like to share this page to all like-minded individuals who enjoy identifying and visiting filming locations worldwide.
To me, identifying and visiting filming locations is more than just a hobby. In a way, it has become a guiding object of my otherwise mundane existence. Treating it like a project, it exercises my mind when I see what can be accomplished at the end and thus gives me an objective and goal to work on. I have a keen eye for details; a good memory; a love for travel; a thirst for adventure; hunger for keeping busy; and I enjoy studying and researching with the hope to work in this field one day.
I’m a big fan of different genre of movies; horror, action, thriller, suspense which may not have necessarily turned out to be blockbusters but have “life-like†quality that touched my life. I can’t really say I’m a fan of a particular decade or era but some of the early monster classics films from the 1940’s blow my trumpet and the 1970's Grindhouse movies, although campy but always a good laugh. Rock on Eddie Romero!
To stand in the exact spot where a movie scene was shot gives me a buzz. It gets me out of the house, away from my remote control and enables me to go for a short break (my excuse to get away from work). The first movie location I ever visited was Tataouine, Tunisia which was used for Star Wars. This was back in the 80's when I was a little lad holidaying with my parents and sister. Even then, I can recall my imagination running wild and I felt like I was in the film. Crazy it may seem now, but that’s where and how this fascination for films and filming locations first started.
