Absolutely outstanding job my fellow filming locations hunters! 👏Standing Ovation.. I’m standing and clapping 🤣 Sorry about your misfortune w your footage and camera, that sucks. However, you still managed to produce a location masterpiece. 👏

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you! Means a lot coming from you, Nick! We need to do a video together soon!

Thank you, Herve! Maybe we will run into each other one day during our expeditions 😉

How does this only have 3K views? This is an iconic filming location video. You do an amazing job and its not the same old shooting location video done by everyone else.

On another note..man Ireland 🇮🇪 is so damn breathtaking 😢I live in a big city so seeing all that greenery gives me such a longing for a change.. I was almost expecting the lads from Piggly Winks to come rolling down some of those hills in a cart 😅 Great video appreciate it ✌🏽

All good! I'm just glad we were able to complete this video and I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I was worried the footage wouldn't be as good as the first run, but it seems people are enjoying it. Thank you, Scott!

[@komi-origami]

All the research job to find the perfect scenes and locations… Insane! I watched this film pretty recently and what made me love it are the gorgeous landscapes 😍

[@GoingtotheMovies]

They are awesome! It’s a perfect example of how to do a lower budget movie on an epic scale

[@board57796]

Hey guys, I love these sort of “then and now” videos and since I found your channel last year, yours are definitely the most well done and absolutely my favorite. You’re criminally under-subscribed right now and I’m sure they’ll start rolling in soon!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you for the continued support! I think we are still relatively new and can’t post as consistently these days, but either way we’re gonna keep posting locations videos!

[@masonhernandez6225]

Inconceivable!!! Beautifully done!!! I hope you had fun storming the castle and that Cary Elwes sees this!!!

[@GoingtotheMovies]

[@dk06ctr]

Never seen the filming locations to this film before excellent job i literally live 20 mins or so from matlock never realised it was filmed there.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Thank you, David! That reminds me: someone walked past us at Buttercup's Farm and asked if we were bird watching. When we told him why we were there, he said he'd been walking that path for decades and never knew it was in The Princess Bride!

[@dk06ctr]

@@GoingtotheMovies Alot of people don't know it would seem lol another fun fact for you about 10min drive from Bakewell at haddon hall is Dalton quarry at stoney Middleton and they have just filmed the train crash scene for the upcoming movie mission impossible 7 very recently earlier this year.

This channel deserves way more views and subs. Great production👍

[@stevetheduck1425]

Where I live is a large Victorian cemetery that has been used to stand in for a cemetery in Moscow, with white sheets and lots of shredded paper snow, and a dozen or so Russian-style gravestones added. Once also lived and worked on Northolt airfield in London, when the opening sequence to the James Bond film 'Octopussy' was shot, and later the film and TV versions of 'Whoops Apocalypse', scenes for 'The Winds of War' TV series, part of the last 'Dirty Dozen' film, part of a film called 'The Golden Lady' (very hard to find) was shot there, and scenes for the 'New Avengers' and other TV series.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Sounds like a cool place!

[@icthree3235]

It's hard to believe this vid doesn't have more views! I recently found your channel and must admit, your location videos are a cut above the rest. I instantly subscribed. Thank you for all your efforts to capture these iconic scenes for posterity. 🎥🧡

[@lancer525]

I'm not sure if anyone's ever mentioned this, but the scene where Vizzini, Fezzik, and Inigo first kidnap Buttercup is the same place where they come out of the Fire Swamp. Look at the two rows of trees just ahead, and it's the same place. Great video! Thanks!

[@AnyoneCanSee]

Thank you. Very enjoyable and I'm very sorry to hear you suffered theft in London. I've visited so many stately homes and castles in the UK and it is strange to think many stand the same for hundreds of years. The movie also has a sort of happy memory of my own childhood. I mean that movies are never the same as the ones we see as kids. They seem like a part of our own lives. Anyway, fantastic work. Truly. Well done.

@@GoingtotheMovies Would be great to see you do an Indiana Jones series in the UK. Lots of locations from the series. (including the upcoming film) One prime location = Ellstree studios, which has been dissected. So half of the old studio is now a supermarket carpark. Giving an opportunity to look all the way down to the old backlot. Then there is the school, the dock at Tillbury where they set up the Venice boat chase, etc. Then you may as well head to Venice, and Spain !

Yep, never gonna get beyond that less than 10k YT sub spot without that social media boost 1) you have no Twitter 2) you provide no access for fans to "feel" they are conversing with you. email,Twitter, Instagram, Help yourself. Give folks at least the "appearance" that they can provide feedback.

[@GoingtotheMovies]

Hello MindYaManas, we’re very grateful for the subscribers we’ve gained making these videos. If what I’ve heard is correct, it takes an average of two years for a new channel to hit its first 1K. We did it in 4 months. However, that isn’t the reason I started this channel. Of course, I’ve gotten caught up in the numbers from time to time, but the main purpose was to create something cool as a way to introduce our future kids to movies we love, make visual guides for other location hunters, and to give myself a creative outlet for my passion for video editing, graphic design, building motion graphics, etc. I do appreciate your feedback and you are probably right about the subscriber count, but it’s not something I can focus on with my current job (which recently became video production thanks to this channel). I don’t typically plug socials in the videos for the reasons stated above but I do have an Instagram and TikTok which are always linked in the video descriptions and our email is [e-mail] if you’d like to reach out there.
