Quite a bit of the new Larry the Cable Guy movie "Witless Protection" was filmed in my hometown of Plano, IL. They were here filming like three weeks ago for a week, then came back a week ago, did more filming, and left a couple days ago. Because new movies should always have their plots spilled, here's some spoilers:

-The movie takes place in Mississippi [how Illinois looks like Mississippi, I'll never know]
-Larry's character drives a brown Ford Bronco [they had two of them here for filming]
-The sheriff's station in the movie is actually the train station here in town
-There's a diner in the movie called Flo's Diner [it's really called Main Street Diner because it's on Main Street, and it's about four blocks from my house]
-Numerous car chase scenes were filmed out on the backroads outside of town

The movie "Sideways" had a scene in a bowling alley that was filmed in the town I was born in, Lompoc CA.

EDIT: Oh, and "The Right Stuff" and "Apollo 13" were filmed a few minutes from my current hometown.

I forgot about a few things filmed in the towns around me.

-A Coca-Cola commercial was filmed at a motel in Yorkville [5 miles from my hometown]. My family was driving through town and we saw all these lights and cameras and stuff, it was pretty cool.

-One of the scenes from Close Encounters of the Third Kind was filmed on a backroad outside Oswego [10 miles from me], I haven't seen the movie, but I've been told it's a part where the spaceship flies about a couple people in a car on a backroad surrounded by cornfields.

-Two scenes from Wayne's World were filmed in Aurora [15 miles from my house]. Yes, the movie is set in Aurora, but the only things that are actually Aurora is the White Castle [torn down and replaced because the foundation started sinking] and the part where they pick up the person sitting on the bench that says "Aurora" on it [and the City of Aurora still uses that logo, btw]. Also, the car spike is in Berwyn, IL, which is closer to Chicago. And on a side note, none of Wayne's World 2 was filmed in Illinois.
