If you’re like most people, you’ve wanted to be in the movies at one time or another. From playing a hero like Indiana Jones or Wonder Woman to dating some hot star like Ryan Gosling or Megan Fox, we’ve all had the thought cross our mind. Then it comes to the incredible places those films take place: Paris, Tokyo, San Francisco… many of the iconic locations are burned into our memories, with moving plot and dialogue to match. Well, here’s a guy that’s putting himself in famous films, or at least one frame from a memorable scene.

As a way to combine his dual loves of film and travel, Allen Fuqua has been finding cool film locations around the world from his favorite movies and reenacting one scene. He calls the still images Movie Mimics. It’s pretty amazing how many cool places he’s found… and even more so that they’re not all based in the movie filming hub of Los Angeles.

This series is certainly inspiring and makes you want to go out and create some Movie Mimics yourself! Can you identify all the movies and locations Allen has here? If you’re struggling, head to Movie Mimic where he not only tells you what character he’s playing, but also maps out the location of each photo.
