There is nothing more exciting than a film crew from La-La-Land moving into your neck of the woods for a few months to shoot the next Hollywood blockbuster – especially, when some of the movie industry’s top actors are attached to the production. Seriously, how many of you remember going on a star search every time you heard a Stephen King movie was being made?

However, what's interesting is that while researching some of the films rooted in Maine, we discovered a number of movies that we didn't realize were shot here. Perhaps that is because only portions of the movie were filmed in these parts, or maybe we suffered some sort of blackout during the time it all took place. Nevertheless, here are five movies we either forgot, or never knew portrayed scenes of Maine.

Forrest Gump

Portions of 'Forrest Gump' were filmed in Pemaquid, Maine and at Mashall Point Lighthouse in Port Clyde, Maine.

Jumanji
