MOVIE ROAD TRIP

You know, I always get excited about the idea of a summer road trip, but the reality can be a bit too much to handle: long stretches of time in a cramped car, bad food, and smokies always on your six (note: your road trip experience may differ).

Luckily, we’ve put together a virtual movie road trip, so you can see the country from the comfort of your roomy, air-conditioned home. Our fancy map lets you visit each state in the contiguous United States (sorry, Alaska and Hawaii), and see a select list of movies that were set and/or filmed there. If you’re a BLOCKBUSTER Online subscriber, you can add the movies to your Queue right from the map.

But that’s not all, sports fans! We also have a new group on Flickr where you can upload your movie-related travel photos. If you’ve ever taken a pic at a famous movie or TV location, we’d love for you to share it with the group. Katz’s Delicatessen in New York from When Harry Met Sally, Platform 9 3/4 in London from Harry Potter, the Dallas City Hall that served as the OCP headquarters in Robocop (true story!), etc.

So take a virtual trip or share the fruits of your real trip, all through the power of the internets!
