<p><span>Have you ever wondered where your favorite TV shows and Films were shot?”<br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Last year, my best friend came to New York to visit me, We are both massive film fans and I thought it might be a good idea to book a tour taking us round some of the most memorable filming locations in the city. For example, he’s not a fan of Sex and The city or Gossip Girl which most of the ones I’ve come across seem to focus on. He is however, a huge Science fiction movie fan, we both love Spider man and The <em>Dark Knight</em> Rises. However, I’m struggling to find something suitable.<br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Like most of the New Yorkers, I love New York City and I love movies. Then , why not combine them two together?</span></p>
<p><span>If there’s one place outside of Hollywood that is inextricably connected to the movies, it is New York City. “Spiderman,” King Kong ，“ The Dark Knight Rises,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Spiderman,” ” “Sex and the City”: from rom-coms to sci-fi thrillers, New York City has been home to many iconic movie sets. According to the <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="http://www.nyc.gov/html/film/html/index/index.shtml">Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting</a>, New York is among the world’s most filmed cities—in 2011, for example, 188 films were shot on location in the five boroughs, along with 23 primetime episodic television series.</span></p>

<li>Add street view to show the user what the location actually looks like</li>
<li>Search by location and actor</li>
<li>Build a form to collect data from a user’s so user can contribute more data to the location map.</li>
<li>Build a World movie location map data. <img alt="🌏" class="wp-smiley" src="https://i1.wp.com/s.w.org/images/core/emoji/2/72x72/1f30f.png?w=456&ssl=1" data-recalc-dims="1"></li>
