How about Beachy Head at the end of Quadrophenia David? At least they can't condemn them . . . or can they??

Well, I've parked there quite a few times and it must be even more god-forsaken now than back then! I can appreciate its iconic status but can understand the council.

Now, if anything were to happen to Oakworth Station I really would be up in arms
All the best

Again, another mainly set bound film. Fellini re-created a large city centre Rome piazza complete with restaurants with alfresco eating bars and shops etc and even tram rails that has a red tram passing by in the background. All of that was on the backlot at Cinecitta Studios on the outskirts of Rome. Its beautifully done and brilliantly evokes the atmosphere of Rome.

Black Park at Pinewood must have a very lengthy location list.
