Movies filmed in Denver

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Denver as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Die Hard 2 1990
Sleeper 1973
“Much of the film was shot in and around Denver, Colorado.” Wikipedia
Animal House 1978
“The first preview screening for Animal House was held in Denver four months before it opened nationwide.” Wikipedia
The Game Plan 2007

The Razor's Edge 1946
The Natural 1984
“With a spectator capacity of 46,206, it was the second-largest venue in the Minors in 1983/84 (behind Denver's then–75,123 capacity Mile High Stadium), and the sixth-largest regular Minor League stadium in history.” Wikipedia

Filming locations inside Denver

3 places inside Denver, each with a page of their own. Every production shot at them is already listed above, because Wikidata records them against Denver too.

Named here by Denver’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Denver, 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.

Dynasty 1981–

“It was also the setting for the prime time drama Dynasty from 1981 to 1989 (although the show was mostly filmed in Los Angeles).” Wikipedia

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Denver, 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.
