Among the movies filmed in Savannah are, to name just a few, Cape Fear (1962), Roots (1976), Glory (1989), Forrest Gump (1994), Something to Talk About (1995), Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997), The Legend of Bagger Vance (2000), The Conspirator (2010), Baywatch (2017), and Gemini Man and The Poison Rose (2019).
If you’re a film buff and would like to touch Hollywood, tours of movie locations are available year around and are great fun for all ages. You’ll be able to see the bus stop bench location where Forrest Gump said, “Life is like a box of chocolates.” Hear the behind-the-scenes stories of the Mercer-Williams House from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
