“The rowing scenes with the Winklevoss brothers were filmed at Community Rowing Inc. in Newton, Massachusetts and at the Henley Royal Regatta; miniature faking process was used in a sequence showing a rowing event at the latter.”

Named here by Newton’s own Wikipedia article

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

“A scene from the 2008 remake of The Women was filmed on the banks of Bulloughs Pond.” Wikipedia
