    Claire of the Moon was an interesting film about lesbian lovers. It was directed by Nicole Conn and starred Trish Todd and Karen Trumbo. It had a Portland cast and crew and Michael Harrison did a beautiful musical soundtrack. It became a cult classic and should be included here as an Oregon film.

    Thank you, Sam! I would love to know more about Claire of the Moon. Anybody out there who has seen it? Please feel free to submit a review/description.

    Hi, Anne.
    I just discovered your website and few made in Oregon movies came to mind. Parts of “The Grand Tour” was filmed in, and around Oakland, OR. It’s about a meteor that destroys a small town and it has time travelers. I watched part of “Fire in the Sky” being filmed in Douglas County, including Oakland, OR. “Short Circuit” was partly shot in Astoria. I also watched parts of the movie “Dead by Sunset” filmed in Portland. I also interviewed two of the young cast members (brothers).

    There is also “Foxfire” with Angelina Jolie and Jenny Lewis. “Hear No Evil” starring Marlee Matlin, D.B. Sweeney and Martin Sheen. “Management” starring Jennifer Aniston, Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson. “My Own Private Idaho” starring Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix. “Paranoid Park,”"Elephant,” and “Mala Noche” by Portland filmmaker Gus Van Sant. “Untraceable” starring Diane Lane. The original “Twilight” was shot around Vancouver WA and Portland. “Extraordinary Measures” starring Brendan Fraser, Harrison Ford and Keri Russel. “Ring 2″ and parts of the original were shot in Astoria. “Follow the Prophet” and “Feast of Love.” “Gone” recently finished up starring Amanda Seyfried. Some scenes in “He’s Just Not that Into You.” “Meeks Cutoff,” Wendy and Lucy” and “Old Joy” by filmmaker Kelly Reichardt. “Men of Honor” starring Robert De Niro, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Charlize Theron. “The Postman” starring and directed by Kevin Costner. Currently “Leverage” (starting the second season to current), “Portlandia” starring SNL Fred Armisen and “Grimm” are currently in production. I know there’s more, but those are the only ones I can think of right now.

    Don’t forget “World War III,” one of Rock Hudson’s last films, albeit a “Made For TV” one. I was a PA on the Second Unit crew, that shot up at Timberline Lodge. Produced by Finnigan & Associates. Notable in that the director, Boris Sagal, (father of Katy and husband to “Snow White’s” roto-double Marge Champion), walked into the tail rotor of a Bell helicopter. Needless to say, he did not survive…

    Don’t forget “Mr. Holland’s Opus”, shot at Grant High in the 1990’s, and The Shining.

  • 7 Anne Richardson // Jan 23, 2012 at 9:34 pm

    I went to Grant High School, so I will never forget Mr. Holland’s Opus. I even had a very inspiring music teacher, Eugene Kaza.

    I believe some of the music classroom interiors were shot at Marylhurst University. I know they didn’t use the Grant High band room for those interior scenes.

    Almost none of the Timberline Lodge exterior footage you see in The Shining was shot on Mt. Hood. Kubrick built a replica in England.

    I haven’t gotten yet to the year Mr. Holland’s Opus was made. I am just now leaving 1993 and heading into 1994.

    But I’ll get there!

    How about “One Flew Over The Cuckcoo’s Nest”? I was a high school student taking a class on ‘film as literature’ at the same time it was being shot here in Salem – had a great field trip to go watch a day of shooting….

  • 9 Anne Richardson // Apr 3, 2012 at 7:24 pm

    Exactly right! How come I never noticed that?! Thanks, David. I fixed it.

    Then there is “The Last of the Wild Horses” (1948). Filmed in Jacksonville, Oregon.

    Mystery Science Theater 3000 lampooned it in their 1994 (episode 611) broadcast.

    LOVE to see it!

    The Vernonia Incident and Emperor of the North (pole) and The Chartruse Caboose

  • 13 Anne Richardson // Aug 17, 2012 at 12:35 pm

    Is this an additional list of Oregon films? Thank you for alerting me to The Vernonia Incident. I knew about Emperor of the North. Never hear of The Chartroose Caboose!

    IMDB lists both films, but says The Chartroose Caboose is a lost film. I’d love to see Slim Pickens in a starring role.

    Thank you for adding data to Oregon Movies, A to Z.
