The state of Georgia is the new go-to place for filming, especially because we offer a little bit of everything. Rome and Floyd County has a good share of filming as well. Here are a few of the most iconic movie and television projects that were filmed in the area.

You left out Dutch with Ed O’Neil, Mosquito Coast with Harridon Ford. Gregory Hines made a TV movie there also. The son from Martied with Children made a movie at Berry College also.
One summer we had Harrison Ford, Ed O’Neil and his tv “son” in Rome all at the same time!
We highlighted some of the most recognized and recent movies filmed here. The link at the bottom of the article show an entire list of all the movies/shows filmed in the area.
Perfect Harmony was another film that used a lot of Rome extras. It too was filmed at Berry.
Double McGuffen( Ernest Borgnine and Ellie Summers) at Darlington during the 70’s, Perfect Harmony(Peter Scalari and David Faustino) for the Disney Channel at Berry and the old city pool on West 3rd. That makes two stars from Married with Children with Ed O’Neil filming Dutch at Foster’s Mill store.
William Hardin mentioned the double mcguffin. It was a pretty good movie and the locker room scene featured a bunch of the Darlington football players (David akins, Joe Taylor, Thomas Reese, mike Mathis, Jim ward etc.)
