The Deer Hunter
1978
“Weirton was one of several Ohio Valley towns that served as film locations for the acclaimed 1978 film, The Deer Hunter.” Wikipedia
- Reckless 1984
Named here by Weirton’s own Wikipedia article
Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Weirton, 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.

Super 8 2011
“The 2011 movie Super 8 was filmed in downtown Weirton, as well as many other places throughout the town, in the fall of 2010.” Wikipedia
