Movies filmed in Melrose
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Melrose 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.

Knight and Day
2010
“Filming also took place in Melrose, Danvers, and New Bedford, Massachusetts.” Wikipedia
-
The Town
2010
“The former MASSBank branch located in Melrose, Massachusetts, was used as the location for the first robbery of the film, taking on the name Cambridge Merchants Bank (the exterior shots, however, are of Cambridge Savings Bank in Harvard Square).” Wikipedia
- Spirited 2022
Named here by Melrose’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Melrose, 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.

The Town 2010
“In the fall of 2009, the Ben Affleck movie The Town captured many key scenes in a historic bank on Main Street downtown, while around the same time, Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise's movie Knight & Day shot scenes on the Fellsway.” Wikipedia
