In the Movies: Popular Film Destinations

7. Savannah, Georgia
One of the most beautiful and stately cities in the American South, Savannah is both modern and charmingly antiquated, which allows it to shine in classic movies like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Now and Then, and Magic Mike XXL. Ok, we’re just kidding about that last one being a classic, but it did film all around Savannah and nearby holiday spot Tybee Island.
One of the most famous shots in Hollywood movie history is Forrest Gump sitting on his bench, which was filmed in Chippewa Square in downtown Savannah. If you’re interested, you can check out the authentic movie prop, which is currently exhibited at the Savannah History Museum.
