    This is so hard.

    Without much consideration I can definitely include...

    Forrest Gump
    Shawshank
    Pulp Fiction
    Lord of the Rings
    Die Hard
    Ben Hur (the first remake, 1960s)
    Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure (I grew up in San Dimas and went to San Dimas High, so...)
    Dumb and Dumber

    Of the last year, I really loved Wild Robot, so that will probably be on the list.

    Will have to give some serious consideration for the rest.

    Sooo, strange things were afoot at the circle K
    I used to ride my bike down to that circle K all the time and get an icee.
    They filmed that end scene at our rival school because they had a better auditorium.
    But it was really cool seeing so many local things, (circle K, raging waters, etc.)
    My dad worked at the San Dimas sheriff station at the time where they did the whole jail scene. We couldn't go anywhere on vacation for about 5-10 years without someone quoting the movie to us when they ask where we're from.

    I still have a box of Bill and Ted playing cards where it advertises a chance to win a trip to San Dimas. Whoever won was probably disappointed when they got there. Except it can be a hub for Disneyland, LA, all the Southern California tourists stuff.

    HA Raging Waters!  Now theres a place I haven't thought about in years!  In the second one they get pushed of that cliff.  That is my favorite place on earth, Vasquez Rocks.  In another life I used to live in Santa Clarita and Saugus.
