What's this all about?
Here's another recent surprise hobby I've learned I enjoy. After Lenora and I enjoyed our spontaneous trip to Devil's Tower, Wyoming so much, we learned they were showing Close Encounters of the Third Kind there for it's 40th anniversary. So we took the trip up again, and enjoyed a raucous viewing of the movie outdoors, with the actual tower behind the screen (we all cheered when it showed up in the movie). It was one of my favorite experiences. When I stayed at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac, I was surprised to find a screening of Somewhere in Time (Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour), which was filmed there. It wasn't as raucous, but it was very interesting to walk around afterwards and recognize everything. I might not be able to find public screenings of these movies in all of these places, but there's usually some tourism around them anyway, and -worst case- I can always watch them on Netflix and then wander around the place myself.
