Agreed on all counts.

Most of the scenes of the town were filmed around Waterville and Skowhegan. If you check out the DVD, there is a "Making of" documentary on there, and the locals were very supportive of the movie. The actors really enjoyed working there because the locals were so welcoming.

But there were other scenes filmed in other places as well.

The beach scenes were all filmed around Ogunquit. According to imdb.com, there were other scenes filmed around Augusta, Isleboro, York, Norridgewock, Lincolnville, and Kennebunkport. All in Maine!

SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION!

By Far.

It was filmed in Ohio though.

I think the worst one is Welcome To Mooseport. Awful movie.

Something I should add too is they were shooting a movie at Bowdoin College and one of the teachers took the class on a field trip to the set where they all met Mel Gibson. Of course it was not my class...

Do TV shows count as well? Murder in Small town X was a reality series from maybe about 6 years ago and that was filmed in Eastport. Unfortunately, the NY firefighter that won was one of the first responders to 9/11 and I believe in one of the towers when they collapsed. It was a nice economic boom for Washington County and a neat concept, but never had another season.
