Movies filmed at Sylt
Filmed here, per Wikipedia
Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Sylt 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.

Nosferatu
1922
“Further exterior shots followed in Lauenburg, Rostock and on Sylt.” Wikipedia
- Look Who's Back 2015
-

2010
“The film was shot in Germany on the islands of Langeneß and Sylt and in Sankt Peter-Ording, Hamburg and Berlin.” Wikipedia

One or the Other of Us
1974
“One or the Other of Us was shot in October and November 1973 in Berlin and Sylt.” Wikipedia
Named here by Sylt’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Sylt, 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 Ghost Writer 2010
“The island was used during the filming of The Ghost Writer, as an alternate location for Martha's Vineyard, due to the film's director, Roman Polanski being unable to travel to the United States, due to an outstanding arrest warrant for rape.” Wikipedia
