Top Films Filmed in Florida
By Space Coast Daily // December 8, 2020
Though much of the film industry of the US is concentrated in California, New York and Georgia, that does not mean that you can’t find other films being made in the other states.
The Space Coast and the wider state of Florida are home to some amazing and iconic film sets. Here are some of the best films made in Florida.
Edward Scissorhands
Tim Burton’s classic film tells the tale of the gentle soul who had blades for fingers instead of regular hands. This film is beloved by many, and the strong chemistry between its leads Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder is one of the best things in this film.
The suburban setting of this film is bright and colorful, making only one place ideal for the sets. The Sunshine State is home to some of the best weather in the US and provided the perfect backdrop to this film.
Caddyshack
This golf film is considered to be one of the best sports movies ever made and it has a special place in many people’s hearts. It was the directorial debut of Harold Ramis and features many top comedic actors such as Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, and Bill Murray.
While its sequel is one of the worst ever made, the first film is undoubtedly a gem, and it is loved by many different viewers. It even spawned some themed restaurants around Florida.
Midnight Cowboy
The 1969 buddy drama is a brilliant film that should be on the must-watch list of film-buffs. It followed Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight on a hunt for treasure across many different states and cities.
While much of the film is set in Florida, many of the sets were also reused in some capacity as stand-ins for the other places they visit. If you want a film that truly offers some of the best character study in cinema, you need to make sure that you add this to the list.
