What was the other major movie filmed on the Rogue River other than 'River Wild'?

Also, did anyone know that 'Stand By Me' was filmed in Eugene?
 
The Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, Short Circuit, Come See the Paradise, and Free Willy I and II were filmed in Astoria.

The Hunted was filmed in Portland, although I've never actually watched it because the reviews were so bad and it tanked at the box office.
 
Paranoid Park (Gus Van Sant) was pretty wild.

How about My Own Private Idaho as well? That was filmed in PDX.

Also, Thumbsucker was filmed in Beaverton, and shot some scenes at a house that was literally a block away from the one my wife and I lived in at the time.
 
A.I. made by Speilberg is another.

What high school was Mr. Hollands Opus filmed at again?
 
I'm surprised more movies aren't filmed in the Bend area.

All of the scenes from Thumbsucker that were in the high school were Tualatin High School, where I went.
 
Just saw Sometimes A Great Notion on Netflix the other day. I assume that was filmed in Oregon. Very good film.

I didn't know that. I lived in Beaverton at the time and our neighborhood was overrun with production trucks. They also filmed at Cedar Hills Crossing.
 
Speaking of Ken Kesey, One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest was filmed in Salem, according to Wikipedia. Best film ever made in Oregon.
 
What was that movie where the chic was deaf and her friend was the murderer? I remembered she would job in pdx.

Rooster Cogburn was filmed partially on the Rogue River and partially on the Dechutes. There is a scene that takes place floating past my old Steelhead fishing spot!

Grant High Til I Die FAMS!

My dad, wife brother and sister and a ton of people I know made cameos!

Arguably, Paint Your Wagon was up there, as well.

Best film ever made in most anyplace.

Supposedly a true story? Based upon some insane asylum in La Pine, eh? :)

The Hunted isn't a bad movie, It just could have been a lot better.

I used to have to work at the Oregon State Hospital (where it was filmed) many years ago. That is one interesting place.

Another great movie with Jack Nicholson was filmed in Oregon. Parts of The Shining were filmed at Timberline Lodge.
 
No OSH in Salem.

I guess it was torn down in 2009 or so. I worked there for my job on occasion in 1999-2002.
