Movies are big business.
As one of the top regional locations to film a movie, Georgia's movie making business is booming. In the last 26 years there has been more than 400 movies filmed here. But the movies do more than invite famous stars and celebrities to our cities and towns, it makes an enormous economic impact. One movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil , helped increase tourism in the city of Savannah 60 percent. And when the makers of Fried Green Tomatoes landed in a small ghost town in Georgia called Julliette, it brought shops, restaurants, and bus loads of visitors to eat Fried Green Tomatoes .
