Glenn, Like you I really like the historical and interesting aspect. I am not talented enough with the painstaking concept of finding the location and gauging the depth and distance to get as close to the shot as possible. Thankfully digital is more cost effective. One I would like to see that exists is Hal Roach locations, especially Laurel & Hardy and Little Rascals. I know that the scene in Hog Wild on the rooftop putting up the antenna was in a known location to a friend's dad. He grew up in the area, but is long deceased. These are so good as they would save money and just shoot on close locations.
