| book description |

Nerdy, addictive, and gloriously cinematic – this is the ultimate bucket list for movie lovers who take their fandom global. A wildly fun, chronological journey through the real-life locations behind cinema’s most iconic moments, this book blends juicy behind-the-scenes stories with breathtaking photography. It’s movie history you can actually step into. Start at the Lumière Brothers’ La Ciotat Station (yes, you can film your own arriving train), slip through Kyoto’s Rashomon gates, Jackie Chan’s legendary Hong Kong stunt spots, soar over Jurassic Park’s Hawaiian cliffs, wander Hobbiton’s storybook hills, bask on Bond’s sunlit Jamaican shores, and descend into the unforgettable tunnel of Parasite’s Seoul. Each entry reveals why the film mattered, how it shaped moviemaking, and exactly where to go to stand where the magic happened.
