Over at BootsnAll, Victoria Brewood rounds up some of the most famous movie locations outside America. They’re all solid choices (though “South America” is maybe a little too broad to be very useful for the keen movie tourist) and mostly linked to high-impact flicks, like “Star Wars” or “Lord of the Rings.” From my own experience I’d add a few spots in England, for the “Harry Potter” franchise and Udaipur’s Lake Palace, in India, where “Octopussy” was filmed.

Oh, and don’t forget about that friendly neighbor to the north—after all, a lot of those “American” movies you’ve seen were actually filmed in Canada.
