For the movie buffs out there, I've been working on a POI list for where feature films have been shot on location. If you've like to download the file, you can get it here:
http://www.poi-factory.com/node/33278
If anybody wants to contribute, please do so by sending me the information. But please give a specific location rather than saying a movie was shot in "town xyz". If you can provide a brief description of what scene from the film was shot at that location, I will put it in that POI's notes.
I hope to be able to update the POI file at least once a month.

Awesome!
Thanks! I'll be downloading momentarily
