It's the rock at the end of The Goonies mate.

Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyy youuuuuuuuuu....got it!

I was surprised the Google car actually went down to the beach to record a street view of that. Maps even labels the Goonies House.

[Macphisto80]

Fairly hard one I'd say, may take a few guesses/clues this one. One of my favourite films of all time, and I suspect, a fellow favourite of people around my age too.

Good one. I've definitely seen that street before. The film is rattling about there somewhere.

[Abrak]

Stand by me? Rob Reiner?

[Skidder.]

Stand by me? Rob Reiner?

Oui. Bien.

[Abrak]

Ok. So my turn. Dont know if this is difficult or not. The film is a little obscure but I did see it listed in someone's 50 greatest films of all time.

If noone gets it in reasonable time, I will add some clues.

I don't immediately recognise the scene, but just going by what you say there and where in the world it is, I'd take a confident shot at Only God Forgives.

Wow 8 minutes. You guys are good. That alleyway is the driveway to my house and where in the movie Ryan Gosling makes his GF strip. About a quarter of the movie was shot here and another quarter at Emporium (Suites) 100 yards up the road.

Your turn.

[Haemoglobin]

I've got a few lined up, but need to leave soon, so I'll probably come back to it tonight. You guys go ahead with your ones for now.

[SenorGarcia]

Last few answers have been impressive! Here's my first for today...

The Town?

[SenorGarcia]

The Town?

Nope 

[Buck Pete]

Salems lot?

[SenorGarcia]

Salems lot?

Nope  struggling to get clear positions for the other locations in the film. So until then, consider the surrounding area 

Edit:

2nd Clue: http://goo.gl/maps/HwBrm (as close as you can get on street view!)

Sorry, not sure how to do shorter url:

(easy I know, but had to get it in)

[SenorGarcia]

Jaws

Bingo! Think I need to try establish the balance between too easy and too hard for my clues 

Just for those interested, here are the two clues in the film itself:

In Bruge. Wanted to do that but all you had to do to figure it out was look at location

[Owenjg77]

How do you get the shorter url?

[Skidder.]

I'm sorry, I've been in bed with crabs.

Nope and Nope.

This is another angle on the first one.

http://goo.gl/maps/hn7az

The shop isn't that appliances store no more.

[Skidder.]

Obviously time hasn't been kind.

http://goo.gl/maps/x66F9

As I say, these are all pretty much shot-for-shot. (Or as close as I can get)

Yet another angle on first location.

(Imagine this one black and white)

[Macphisto80]

I think it's 12 monkeys. Were there black and white segments in there, I can't remember?

Well done.

The shot above the door was shown as a Black and White picture.

You're shitting me? That was a bit of a stab in the dark. I'd seen that building before, but I couldn't tell if I was right or not. Chuffed at that to be honest. That was fucking hard.

Die hard three...where he has to work out the weight of water he needs to defuse the bomb?

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

[TepidT2O]

Well the picture says Columbus circle, and there is a film called that...any link?

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Haven't heard of it but after a quick check that took place in LA and this is NYC.

Clue: planned assassintion

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

Nah, I'd give you another location if I could find it. Anyway the one I'm trying to find probably wouldn't help much

[TepidT2O]

The dictator, the pope must die.... Is it obvious that I'm guessing?

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

It involves a psycho with a mohawk

[TepidT2O]

This is England ....

[TepidT2O]

But more likely taxi driver (if I'm not being obtuse)

[Sir Psycho Sexy]

yeah, not the easiest I grant you

[Macphisto80]

Was just about to say Taxi Driver. That's the scene where he's wearing a green coat and has the round shades on.
