gularscute Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Out of these I've only seen The Princess Bride which doesn't stand out as being Sheffieldish to say the least! Spare Time (1939) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0139624/ Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue (1974) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0071431/ The Princess Bride (1987) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0093779/ Fellow Traveller (1989) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0097346/ Blood (2000) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0190273/ The Navigators (2001) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0415210/ Dream (2001) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0313342/ Gabriel and Me (2001) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0249624/ Station Jim (2001) http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0097346/ Also worth mentioning is the brilliant TV cop show Out of the Blue which was shown in 1995 and only ran for a couple of seasons. It was set in an unnamed northern town that was obviously Sheffield to anyone who lives here. Sadly it's not been released on VHS or DVD and hasn't been repeated as far as I know.

pberry Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 How about Whatever Happened to Harold Smith? Check the Filming Locations on IMDb's entry. I've expanded on "Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, UK" as much I can. Any spots I've missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 I remember my mate being an extra in The Princess Bride - he answered an ad in the Star appealing for people with long hair. Had to go to the Leadmill to be assessed, then I think the filming was out in Derbyshire somewhere - not far from Sheffield anyway. All the long-haired people turned out to be medieval peasants... Oh, that 'Whatever Happened to Harold Smith' film is utter garbage. My opinion, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of which was shot at Norfolk Park flats,the outdoor scenes at least, and now an area of natural beauty since all the flats were torn down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently no-one told security that there would be men running around on the roof with guns or that they'd be actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
