You don't have to dream to be a part of your favorite movie, just visit one of these locations where they were filmed.

Madison County, Iowa
What do John Wayne and Clint Eastwood have in common? Both have connections here. This is where Wayne was born, and it's also the setting for the film The Bridges of Madison County, starring Eastwood and Meryl Streep. Look for the Roseman Covered Bridge.

Smithville, Texas
Want to fall in love again like Sandra Bullock did in Hope Floats? This little town, a 45-minute drive from Austin, is just the place for a romantic bed-and-breakfast stay.

Longwood, Florida
You can recite lines from Caddyshack, but can you go shot for shot with Ty Webb? Try it on the same course.

Dyersville, Iowa
Most baseball fans got chills at the end of Field of Dreams. Experience that magic for yourself at the real field in Dyersville.

Holderness, New Hampshire
Head to Squam Lake, where the Oscar-winning On Golden Pond was shot, for your own family bonding.

Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania
Bing! Have fun again and again like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day.

Asheville, North Carolina
The Biltmore Estate is the largest home in the U.S., almost as grand as Peter Sellers' performance in Being There.

Giles City, Virginia
Looking for the time of your life? The Mountain Lake Hotel City is where most of Dirty Dancing was shot. Starting in July, the hotel will be hosting 'Dirty Dancing Weekends' with dance lessons and tours. 

Mansfield, Ohio
Check out the Mansfield Reformatory, made famous in The Shawshank Redemption. Take a tour of the Shawshank spots, like the hole Tim Robbins crawled through to freedom.
