Not actually yearly round up of film locations

There's a reason L says the motto for my blog should be "I never drop projects, I just don't update them for a while". 

This one used to be yearly and then stuff happened, so I'm taking the chance to update it now. This is a list of all the locations where films I have mentioned up to August 2020 (yes, I know). 

Looking only at real locations, the US and UK lead the way. Pie chart of film locations, the US and UK take up just over 50 percent of the pie. 

It's a lot less clear cut when I include fictional locations. Pie chart of film locations, including fictional places.  Now it takes the US, UK, outer space and the righter most edge of France to make up 50 percent of the pie 
There's still an disturbing, overwhelming, more than 80% of them are set there, English slant to the films set in the UK. It does possible suggest something about film funding in the UK, and where Hollywood sets films when they're set in the UK. Pie chart.  Only England and Scotland are represented and England is the setting for 87 percent of all the films set in the UK. When I have time to learn how to do nice map plots, I think this will be my dataset.
