Film rooter have long made pilgrimages to the site where movie stars and crew once made their stigma , from the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art where Rocky pass , to the summerhouse in Salzburg , Austria whereThe Sound of Music ’s Liesl was “ sixteen run on seventeen . ” It can be quite a trek to the near movie destination , so a Tumblr calledFilmapis attempt to help . It is an online compilation of real - world filming locations , as locate on Google Maps .
Filmap ’s compare show screenshots from a movie alongside a Google Street View interlingual rendition of it in real life , unedited . Where relevant , Filmap even provides an exact street addresses .

There ’s also a certain sensation of time locomotion , especially with older film . The direction they were then is often surprisingly similar to how they look now , reckon from hundreds of miles out , thanks to the Internet .
Filmap features locations from a reach of pic , from classic to contemporary , with a generous sprinkling of alien films . There ’s something for everyone , so click away .
