Has your house/hometown ever been on TV/Film?

I went to middle school in the town where the original "My Bloody Valentine" was filmed, my dad also claims to have been in the background at some point but I have my doubts
In Friday Night Lights there were two towns in Texas where they did most of the filming and as a kid, I lived in both the towns as a kid.
Yup! Mostly in Swedish TV/cinema, but the flashback parade scenes in the Hollywood version of Girl With a Dragon Tattoo was in my hometown. Me, my brother-in-law, and my two nieces were extras! =D
Not my hometown, but they filmed the film Exit Wounds in Calgary which was funny because it was supposed to be standing in for Detroit and yet in one scene you can see the Mr. Sub in the background, which I'm pretty sure they don't have in Detroit.
Kind of. My actual hometown suburb of Eastbourne in New Zealand was the setting for the forgettable film called "Separation City". My old house or my parent's current house may have appeared in it, I wouldn't know 'cause I haven't seen it.
Also just around the corner from my parent's current house is the vacant lot where Peter Jackson constructed 1933 era New York for "King Kong".
Also, I live in Wellington New Zealand, so add to that list Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, Avatar and anything else that had the involvement of Weta Workshop/Digital or Peter Jackson.

Sonoma county here. The country sides and vineyards are used all the time. There's been a couple different movies set entirely here too--like Sideways and Paranourmal Activity 3.
Scream was originally set in my brother's High School, but the school backed out at the last second. If you look in the credits it should say at some point "No thanks to Santa Rosa High School".

In my neighborhood they filmed a movie called The Joneses. It was pretty ironic that the film focused on the unrestrained excess of American culture and everyone was fine with using the neighborhood to highlight that negativity. It wasn't all bad though, we knew the people that the film used as the main house and each family member got paid $3000 to live in a another house in the neighborhood for a couple months.
My hometown was the setting for the movie The Day After. It was kind of weird to see a movie in my middle of flippin' nowhere town.
Excellent movie, though. I think it's on Youtube.

Well, I've been on the news once before in the background. Other than that the only thing I can think of famous wise would be... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cT_Ulmcrys
Yeah, I live in Oklahoma City.

I live in Northern Virginia, so a ton of movies and TV shows have been set in the general area, due to the proximity to Washington DC. A couple X-Files episodes took place fairly close to where I live, and you can visit Falls Church, the neighborhood where my dad grew up, in Fallout 3. Not to mention the To Catch A Predator investigation in Fairfax. <.<
