"Hey! I know that place!"

"Wow! They filmed over there?"

HawaiianIslands.com analyzed IMDb data to identify the U.S. locations with the most film credits. They categorized the top locations by state, type, and genre to rank the most filmed locations in each category.

The top film location in the United States ended up being Griffith Park in Los Angeles, California with close to 400 credits.

Thinking about a location in Alabama that has been filmed a lot, I naturally want to say Orange Beach. Mostly because I didn't know how beautiful Alabama beaches were until I moved here.

When it came to the state of Alabama, the most filmed location only makes sense.

According to HawaiianIslands.com, it's the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.

Hawaiian Islands also has a list of the most filmed beaches, National Parks, sports stadiums, and buildings in the U.S.
