Named here by Cambridge’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Cambridge, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Oppenheimer 2023
“For Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, establishing shots of J. Robert Oppenheimer's time at Cambridge University were filmed in Cambridge, featuring King's College along the River Cam.” Wikipedia
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Cambridge, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement: two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
