Yeah - isn't the internet a dangerous place for day dreaming? It really is amazing what 'stand-in' places can look like.
My husband and I were watching the Hatfields and McCoys series (with Kevin Costner) set in WV/KY (he is from KY, my family is from SW VA), and we were like "Wow, I didn't hear about them filming in our neck of the woods. Good on them for actually going to where these events took place and filming there, and giving money to these poor communities!" Well, filmed in Romania. But man did it look amazingly beautiful and just like the woods and ponds I remember wandering around in as a kid.
There are some spectacular places out there, and you can really tell a great director or DP when you see scenes like the one you talk about in Gladiator that just stick with you. The wheat field scene from that film affected me similarly. Out here in MT when we are driving through seas of wheat out in the eastern part of the state and see a tree up on a hill, and the wind is blowing, I often think of that scene in Gladiator set in Spain, and then start looking around for Roman legions
Thats funny, I remember going to the mountains of north carolina and asked about the novel cold mountain they made into a movie, there is actually a mountain called cold mountain in pisgah forest but locals told us they shot most of the film in romania!
That villa in gladiator where he walks through elysium was filmed in Val d'Orcia in tuscany, tuscany is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

The mountains in the movie "Cold Mountain" are nothing like the N. C. Cold Mountain. Cold Mountain has trees all over it. I saw rock formations sticking up from the Cold Mountain in the movie. Maybe they were looking for the weather conditions when they chose the location.
Last of the Mohicans was filmed in the Lake Lure, N. C. area.
Eastern Ohio, specifically Ashtabula and Geauga Counties, as well as Western PA have some of the most biologically diverse deciduous forests in the US. They're very primordial looking, and have many different types of trees and plants.
