17. Harvard University: Good Will Hunting (1997), The Firm (1993), Love Story (1970)

Though Harvard famously restricts filming on campus, that hasn’t stopped filmmakers from sneaking in a few establishing shots or using lookalike campuses. Good Will Hunting features exteriors from Harvard Square, while The Firm and Love Story showcase glimpses of the university's red-brick, ivy-clad buildings. Harvard’s iconic campus remains one of the most recognizable in Hollywood, often used to represent institutions of higher learning, whether it’s actually Harvard or just a stand-in.
