Named here by Savannahβs own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Savannah, 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.

Forrest Gump 1994
“In popular culture, the square is the location of the park bench seen in the 1994 film Forrest Gump from which the title character dispenses wisdom to others waiting for a bus.” Wikipedia

“Clary's Cafe β featured in both the 1994 book and 1997 film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.” Wikipedia
Set here
Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood β a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.
Set here, per Wikipedia
Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Savannah, 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 β two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.
