The movie was filmed and set in Ocean Grove, New Jersey. Scenes were also shot in Asbury Park, Neptune, Bradley Beach, and Brick. During the fall of 2007, the Bradley Beach train station was shut down for a day of filming and was featured in the opening scene of the movie. A hospital scene was filmed at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, while a tumultuous boat scene was filmed on the Metedeconk River in Brick. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSG<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team member (and self-proclaimed Hilary Duff superfan) Jessica even got to be an extra in the film, as did all locals who were available for scenes during the days of filming in the fall of 2007. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Greta<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is available on most streaming services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/musicians-jersey-shore-nj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 Jersey Shore Musicians You Should Be Listening to in 2025<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><i>Amityville Horror<\/i> (1979)<\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amityville Horror<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a film that is set in Long Island but was partially filmed in Toms River, New Jersey. The house that appears in the film \u2014 located at 8 Brooks Road in Toms River \u2014 may not be instantly recognizable, as the property underwent a major fa\u00e7ade remodel for the film. Toms River\u2019s city hall is still recognizable in the film, though, as it appears in the movie in its current form today. According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/year\/1979\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Box Office Mojo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the movie was the second-highest-grossing release of 1979, beating out <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rocky II, Star Trek, and Moonraker<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 and it was nominated for an Academy Award for best original score. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Annie (1982)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The beloved 1982 film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annie<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be set in Depression-era New York City, but some of its most iconic scenes were filmed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-bbq-jersey-shore-nj\/\">Jersey Shore<\/a>. Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey, served as the backdrop for Daddy Warbucks\u2019 lavish mansion. Known for its stunning architecture and sprawling grounds, the university\u2019s Wilson Hall stood in for the billionaire&#8217;s opulent estate, bringing a touch of Shore glamour to Hollywood magic. The location helped give the film its timeless, fairytale feel and remains a fun piece of local film history.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Blinded By The Light<\/i> (2019)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2019 coming-of-age film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blinded by the Light<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, inspired by the music of Bruce Springsteen, may be set in 1980s England, but a surprising part of its heart beats at the Jersey Shore. While much of the movie was filmed in the UK, key scenes were shot in Asbury Park and other <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/bruce-springsteens-jersey-shore-landmarks\/\">Springsteen<\/a>-significant locations along the Shore. These spots weren\u2019t just chosen for scenic value, of course. They were essential in capturing the spirit of The Boss and bringing the story full circle, connecting a British teenager\u2019s passion for Springsteen\u2019s lyrics to the very place that inspired them. Many scenes were set and filmed in Freehold, the birthplace of Springsteen, and Asbury Park, where he often performed and continues to pop up for live sets. A scene in the movie also features a character visiting Monmouth College. The movie&#8217;s official premiere was held at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>The Bounty Hunter (2010)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2010 action-comedy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bounty Hunter<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, brought Hollywood flair to the Jersey Shore during its production. While the film spans multiple locations, several key scenes were shot along the <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-boardwalks-jersey-shore-new-jersey\/\">boardwalks<\/a> and streets of Atlantic City, including at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino and Resort, giving the film a gritty, energetic backdrop that perfectly matched its high-stakes storyline. Scenes were also shot at Monmouth Park on Oceanport Avenue in Oceanport. From casino exteriors to oceanfront chases, the Jersey Shore\u2019s unique charm added a real-world texture to the movie\u2019s mix of romance and chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Chasing Amy (1997)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In cult classic film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chasing Amy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (directed by Jersey Shore local Kevin Smith), Ben Affleck plays a Red Bank-based comic-book artist who befriends and then romances a woman played by actress Joey Lauren Adams. The movie was filmed in several familiar spots along the Jersey Shore, including Asbury Park, Rumson, and Red Bank. The film showcases Smith\u2019s signature storytelling and\u00a0 captures the unique charm and grit of our beloved coastal communities. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chasing Amy<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> serves as a time capsule of late-90s New Jersey, spotlighting local landmarks that still hold significance today. In 1998, Adams was nominated for the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/goldenglobes.com\/person\/joey-lauren-adams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golden Globe Award<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Best Actress \u2014 Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for her role in the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>City by the Sea (2002)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">City by the Sea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a crime drama starring Robert De Niro, James Franco, Eliza Dushku, and Frances McDormand, may be set against the gritty backdrop of Long Beach, New York but several key scenes were filmed along the Jersey Shore. With its weathered boardwalks, coastal neighborhoods, and evocative seaside atmosphere, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, and Keansburg served as stand-ins for parts of Long Island, adding a raw and authentic feel to the film\u2019s visual storytelling. At the time of filming, Asbury Park was in the early stages of revitalization, which made it an ideal spot for a film that needed a sense of past glory and present struggle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Clerks (1994)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The cult classic film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clerks,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> directed by Kevin Smith, has deep roots in the Jersey Shore. The movie was filmed almost entirely in and around the vibrant communities of the shore, capturing the everyday vibe and local flavor that give the film its authentic and relatable feel. From the convenience store where the story unfolds to the familiar streets and hangouts, locals will easily recognize scenes shot in Leonardo, Atlantic Highlands, and Middletown. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clerks<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> owes much of its charm to the unmistakable <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-jersey-shore-natural-market-health-food\/\">Jersey Shore<\/a> backdrop. The connection to the shore helped <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clerks<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> launch Smith\u2019s career and put New Jersey indie filmmaking on the map.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>A Complete Unknown (2024)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Complete Unknown, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the 2024 Bob Dylan biopic starring Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet, immerses audiences in the transformative early years of the iconic musician. While set in 1960s New York City and Newport, Rhode Island, the film was primarily shot across New Jersey, with the Jersey Shore serving as a pivotal backdrop. Cape May stood in for Newport during the 1965 Folk Festival scenes, while Hoboken and Jersey City were transformed to depict Greenwich Village&#8217;s vibrant streets. <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/cape-may-things-to-do-new-jersey\/\">Cape May<\/a>&#8216;s Washington Street Mall was reimagined as the Newport Folk Festival grounds, complete with vintage signage and period-accurate decor. The production&#8217;s meticulous attention to detail brought the 1960s era to life, utilizing local businesses and landmarks to authentically recreate Dylan&#8217;s early experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Coyote Ugly (2000)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hit 2000 film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coyote Ugly<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> brought the energy and grit of the New York City bar scene to life, but many scenes from the movie were\u00a0 filmed in South Amboy, New Jersey. The film&#8217;s opening scene, where main character Violet Sanford (played by Toms River-born actress Piper Perabo) bids farewell to her small hometown, was filmed at 101 South Broadway in South Amboy, which served as the exterior for the pizzeria where she worked. Additionally, the South Amboy Knights of Columbus at 308 Fourth Street was used as the establishing shot for the wedding scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/i> (2025)<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the Jersey Shore served as the backdrop for the highly anticipated Bruce Springsteen biopic titled <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/bruce-springsteen-jeremy-allen-white-deliver-me-from-nowhere-movie\/\">Deliver Me from Nowhere<\/a>, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which is set to be released in theaters on October 24th, 2025. Jeremy Allen White plays Springsteen in the film, which delves into the making of his 1982 album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nebraska<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With scenes shot in Asbury Park \u2014 including inside the legendary Stone Pony \u2014 as well as downtown Freehold, the town where Springsteen was born and raised. Both locations received retro facelifts to authentically capture the 1980s era. Last year, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JSG <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">writer + social media editor Jessica worked on the set of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and hopes that her scenes won\u2019t end up on the cutting room floor \u2014 she will share more about her experience filming once the movie is out (and her NDA is lifted!)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>The Godfather Part III (1990)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Godfather Part III, the epic conclusion to Francis Ford Coppola\u2019s legendary trilogy, found part of its cinematic backdrop right here at the Jersey Shore. While the film\u2019s story spans the globe, several key scenes were brought to life along New Jersey\u2019s scenic coast, adding an authentic East Coast atmosphere that perfectly matched the movie\u2019s intense drama and complex family dynamics. The former Trump Castle Casino in Atlantic City, now the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, was the site of the attack on the mob convention. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy Gilmore 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an upcoming sports comedy film and the long-awaited sequel to the 1996 classic <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy Gilmore<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and is scheduled for release on Netflix on July 25th, 2025. The movie, starring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themontclairgirl.com\/adam-sandler-new-jersey-towns-montclair-hoboken-long-branch\/\">Adam Sandler<\/a>, was filmed in several locations in Monmouth County, New Jersey, including the Fiddler&#8217;s Elbow golf course and around Atlantic Highlands.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Jersey Girl (2004)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jersey Girl<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is another Kevin Smith film with Ben Affleck in the lead role that was filmed at the Jersey Shore. A significant portion of filming took place in Hazlet, while the film includes a scene featuring the Asbury Park boardwalk. Scenes were also filmed in Red Bank and Long Branch. These spots provided the perfect mix of coastal charm and authentic local flavor, reflecting the heart of the story: a father navigating life and love while raising his daughter in New Jersey.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Mean Girls (2024)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2024 film adaptation of the Broadway musical <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mean Girls<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> took over New Jersey&#8217;s Monmouth County.<\/span> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mean Girls <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was filmed in the former Mater Dei Prep High School in Middletown, New Jersey, between March and April 2023. The defunct prep school doubled as the fictional North Shore High School in the movie, and hundreds of locals were even cast as extras in the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Stardust Memories (1980)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Woody Allen\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stardust Memories<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was filmed along the <a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/jerseyshore\/best-coffee-shops-jersey-shore\/\">Jersey Shore<\/a>, bringing a dreamy, seaside feel to its black-and-white cinematography. The Great Auditorium in Ocean Grove was used as the grand \u201cStardust Hotel,\u201d with its towering exterior and signature cross making a memorable impression. The film also features scenes shot in nearby shore towns like Asbury Park, Neptune, Belmar, and Deal, grounding its surreal story in a very real and familiar coastal setting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Ragtime (1981)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The film <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ragtime<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be set in New York City, but Spring Lake\u2019s very own Essex + Sussex Hotel played a featured role. The hotel has since been transformed into luxury condominiums, but at the time of filming, the historic hotel served as the background of the scenes in the movie. It&#8217;s grand, early 20th-century architecture perfectly captures the period aesthetic, making it an ideal stand-in for the film\u2019s Gilded Age settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>War of the Worlds (2005)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Steven Spielberg\u2019s <i>War of the Worlds,<\/i> starring Tom Cruise, brought a Hollywood spectacle to the Jersey Shore when several key scenes were filmed in Howell Township.

Howell police officers were assigned to help direct motor vehicle traffic and manage the crowds of onlookers. The Canterbury Way replica has been a part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SJM1m7-b6Qs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">back-lot tour<\/a> at Universal Studios Hollywood.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><i>Which Brings Me to You (2023)<\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 2023 romantic comedy <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which Brings Me to You, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">starring <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pretty Little Liars <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">actress Lucy Hale and musician and actor Nat Wolff, quietly transformed familiar seaside spots into cinematic backdrops for its heartfelt tale.

Monmouth University, Bond Street Bar, White Chapel Projects, and the Leonardo Motel are other local spots that can be recognized in scenes from the film.
