I was living in Beaufort, SC when they filmed "Forrest Gump," and "Prince of Tides." While the filmies can be a PITA, (I gotta put up with them now in ILM,) they do pump a lot of money into the local economy.

In the closing scene in "PoT," where they do the aerial pan of the bridge from Port Royal over to Frogmore, you can just see the roof of my house by the foot of the bridge.
