New Jersey is a stunning state with a diverse landscape, so it would only make sense if more movies were filmed here. Several films have already taken advantage of our varied topography, including some that may surprise you. Click here to learn which films feature us on the big screen, and read on to learn what other spots we think would be spectacular on film. Location scouts, take note!
- High Point State Park, Sussex
Flickr/Sachin Daluja You’ve got lakes, mountains, and a monument - what more do you need?
- The Pine Barrens
Flcikr/Louis Dallara Our magnificent pinelands would be perfect for eerie thrillers and woodsy adventure flicks.
- Manasquan Reservoir, Howell
Flickr/Bob Jagendorf This beautiful spot could easily be a scene in a romantic comedy, but I see it starring in science fiction.
- Duke Farms, Hillsborough
Flickr/Anthony Quintano This picturesque spot is a perfect place for a first date scene.
- Flower Hill Cemetery, North Bergen
Flickr/Llima Orosa Ideal for a horror flick, this cemetery may actually be haunted. Many who lost their lives in the tragic Hoboken Piers fire of 1900 are buried here.
- Palisades Cliffs, Alpine
Flickr/Anita Gould Many movies could be filmed on these beautiful cliffs.
- Sandy Hook Lighthouse, Sandy Hook
Flickr/DrPavloff The oldest working lighthouse in America, this spot would be ideal for historical dramas.
- Delaware Water Gap
Flickr/Peter Miller Anywhere along this stretch of river could be used in a great action or adventure flick. I’m seeing something to do with rafting…
- USS New Jersey, Camden
Flickr/Forsaken Fotos This is obviously a great spot for a classic wartime flick to be filmed.
- Navesink Twin Lights, Highlands
Flickr/Peter Miller This unique structure would fit well in anything related to architecture.
- Cape May

- Jenny Jump State Forest, Warren County
Flickr/Nicholas A. Tonelli Views like this belong on the big screen.
- Atlantic City
Pixabay/PublicDomainImages A great spot for sequels to The Hangover and Ocean’s Eleven. It doesn’t always need to be Vegas!
- Great Falls, Paterson
Pixabay/MoneyForCoffee They could be a scenic date spot, or star in an end of the world flick. Have you ever seen the rushing falls after a heavy rain?
- Our beautiful bogs!
Pixabay/Public Domain Images So vibrant and unique, I’m sure they could find their way into some sort of movie.
