Even more astonishingly, London was also used to create some of the iconic, sweat-soaked Vietnam jungle scenes in Full Metal Jacket.Which is why if you want to discover which movies are actually set in your town you need the World Cinema Atlas.World Cinema Atlas is an interactive globe featuring 170,000 films and TV series, each placed on the map according to where their stories take place.
