A few spring to mind because they’re in movies I like:

Broken Hill, Australia - Wake in Fright, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Tocopilla, Chile - Where Alejandro Jodorowsky grew up and shot his last two movies.

Isle Royale, Michigan - It’s an island in a lake with a lake in it that has an island.

    I’m about an hour from Asheville and plan to frequent the towns around to help them rebuild from the hurricane. Not right now, but as they are ready.

    Helen GA is on my list. It’s modeled after a Bavarian alpine village.

    St John’s Newfoundland Canada as that looks to be the eastern most point in North America to watch a sunrise.

    I would love to go to Lviv Ukraine as my DNA says my family is from there.

    I have a 12 year old so hard to keep her interest in small places. That being said, Atlas Obscura is wonderful for finding oddities around the world.

      I love this idea.

      I stayed in Maggie Valley a few years back. That’s such a nice area.
