It's become increasingly common to stumble upon a movie or TV set in recent years in metro Atlanta. From a funeral in "Fast & Furious 7" being filmed at the Historic Oakland Cemetery to the use of Swan House in The Hunger Games franchise, Atlanta has become a popular place for filming for a number of reasons.

While you may know a few of the movies that have come through Georgia, it's certainly hard to keep track of them all!

Films such as the recently released “Captain America: Civil War," 2014’s critically acclaimed “Selma” and 2002’s “Drumline,” offer a few opportunities to catch a glimpse of the city in films. Venture a little further away from metro Atlanta and you’ll find where a scene from 1994’s “Forrest Gump” was filmed in Savannah.

Of course, you don't have to get in your car to discover which films have local ties. Click through our gallery here and see for yourself while sitting at your desk or dining at your favorite restaurant.
