Showdown: This Must Be the Place

Visit here for the current topic and join in the fun.

As Sacramento and The Ballad of Wallis Island release in the cool world of theatres, this Showdown is all about location, location, location. If you 🎹 wanna be a part of it 🎹, make your own atlas by listing your ten favourite films named after a landmark, a neighbourhood, a city, a state, a country, even a continent. One rule: it must be a specific place. This means no No Country for Old Men, no Nomadland, no North by Northwest. Also, while there are scores of stories titled after spots in filmmaking hubs like Los Angeles and New York, we encourage you to go more global! If you need a road map, explore these lists by Energetic_nova, HDorrittie and Logan (though keep in mind that not everything in these lists are eligible—looking at you, Dune).
