Movie road trip: A cinematic site per state for all 50 states

Movie junkies: prepare to hit the road. We’ve rounded up a spot tied to a movie in every state for getting your cinematic travel fix.

Take a moment and think of some of your favorite movies. Now think of the iconic locations they feature. From Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan on the top of the Empire State building to Transformers destroying Chicago, movie locations have a significant impact on the movie’s plot.

Traveling to favorite movie locations appeals to fans because it brings them closer to the movie itself. How many times have you repeated the Titanic moment on the front of a boat? If you could stand in the same spot as your favorite movie character or movie star, would you travel to get there?

And who doesn’t love a good road trip? From traveling down California’s scenic highways to the iconic Route 66, a road trip is part of American culture. Combining that road trip with favorite movies can be an entertaining endeavor.

With any good road trip, you need a few things. First, start with a plan. You don’t want to waste time and money going out of your way. Second, make sure you have all your travel essentials. Three, grab a friend to make the trip more memorable (a fellow movie fan is best in this case).

Then it’s time to get out the old school map. Sure, Google Maps is easier but if you’re going for a nostalgic old Hollywood vibe, an atlas is best. Get ready to plot the course through your favorite movies in all 50 states.
