Remember when the only cool place in town was the movie theater?

On summer days when it was just too hot to even run through the sprinkler, we headed for the only air-conditioned place in town. I think the first movie that made me yearn for Florida was

“Where the Boys Are”… and of course everyone knew Tarzan was filmed in Florida, not Africa (you didn’t?!?)

But there are some surprises in this list of 21 Popular Movies Made in Florida.

I can hear you singing along….

Our thanks to Florida Backroads Travel for this list. We’ve compiled it into a PDF for your enjoyment, since the site is ad and pop-up heavy. But do visit them. They have some superb suggestions for day or weekend trips around our state. So you can Follow that Dream on your own…

That’s the sign we searched for!
