Movies have a tendency to make everything look more beautiful than it actually is — and locations are no different.
A movie can turn the Eiffel Tower, one of the most-visited attractions on the planet, into a quiet, romantic date spot. In real life, you'd be sharing a romantic rendezvous with thousands of other people.
From the unappetizing shores of Maya Bay in Thailand, famous for being the untouched beach in "The Beach," to the cheesy tourist traps in Forks, Washington, home of the "Twilight" films, these 10 movie locations are nothing like they are on the big screen.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, is one of the most iconic structures in the world, which is why it has played a part in so many movies, including "Moulin Rouge!."
Paris is a must-see city, and the Eiffel Tower is truly breathtaking.
But that means you won't be the only one trying to appreciate the view.
But it is also one of the most-visited attractions in the world, so expect long lines, vendors hawking selfie sticks, souvenirs, and other touristy tchotchkes, and pick-pockets.
If you're really committed to going, get ready to cough up almost $30 per person to reach the top.
The town of Forks, Washington, is the moody backdrop for all four of "The Twilight Saga" films.
Legend has it that author Stephenie Meyer had never even been to Forks, she just Googled "rainiest place in the US" and chose the small town due to its heavy rainfall.
With the mania that surrounded the story of Bella, Edward, and Jacob, it's not surprising that "Twihards" immediately flocked to the small town.
