  • Nerdy, addictive, and gloriously cinematic – this is the ultimate bucket list for movie lovers who take their fandom global.

    Travel through the real-life locations behind cinema’s most iconic moments, from the earliest days of film to today’s biggest blockbusters. Packed with juicy behind-the-scenes stories and breathtaking photography, this is movie history you can actually experience for yourself. From Paris to Seoul, Hollywood to Hong Kong, discover:

    ICONIC: The Lumière Brothers’ La Ciotat Station – where cinema history began, and where you can still film your own arriving train.

    DEATH-DEFYING: Jackie Chan’s legendary Hong Kong stunt locations – the backdrop to some of cinema’s most jaw-dropping action.

    DINOSAUR-FILLED: The spectacular Hawaiian cliffs of Jurassic Park.

    HAUNTING: Kyoto’s Rashomon gates – one of Kurosawa’s most evocative locations.

    MAGICAL: Hobbiton’s storybook hills – straight into Middle-earth.

    SUN-SOAKED: Bond’s Jamaican shores – where 007’s tropical adventures come to life.

    UNFORGETTABLE: The tunnel from Parasite in Seoul – one of the film’s visually striking locations.

    Each entry reveals why the film mattered, how it shaped moviemaking and, crucially, exactly where to go to stand where the magic happened.
