Many movies have been filmed in Glacier National Park in Montana, but the most famous is The Shining from 1980, which used aerial footage of Glacier National Park for its opening credits, though most of it was filmed elsewhere. However, the movie most entirely filmed in Glacier National Park is Forrest Gump? No, that was not. The best-known films actually shot extensively in Glacier National Park include The River Wild in 1994 starring Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon, which filmed many river scenes on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River bordering Glacier National Park. What Dreams May Come in 1998 starring Robin Williams filmed its heaven scenes in Glacier National Park, using the stunning alpine scenery. The 2016 film The Revenant starring Leonardo DiCaprio filmed some scenes in Glacier National Park and nearby areas for its snowy mountain wilderness. The 1953 western The Moon Is Blue and the 1962 film The Lion filmed scenes there. Perhaps the most famous is the opening of The Shining, where the aerial shots of the car driving to the Overlook Hotel were filmed on Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park, though the hotel itself was Timberline Lodge in Oregon and interiors were studio sets in England. Many documentaries about nature have also been filmed there. Glacier's dramatic Going-to-the-Sun Road, Lake McDonald, and Many Glacier area make it a favorite for filmmakers seeking pristine alpine scenery without heavy crowds.
