SUITS
Set in New York but
filmed in Toronto
(p178), this popular
legal TV drama shot
to even greater fame
when one of its main
stars, Meghan Markle,
married Britain’s Prince
Harry in 2018.

Titanic (1997)
Many Titanic victims are
buried in Halifax (p312), which
served as the base for the
real-life rescue operations.
James Cameron filmed a third
of his movie here, including
the modern expedition
scenes. Visit the Titanic
exhibition at the town’s
Maritime Museum of the Actors Billy Zane and Kate
Atlantic (p314). Winslet, within a scene from
the 1997 blockbuster Titanic

Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)
Vancouver’s historic Gastown District
(p78) stands in for several Seattle
and Portland locales in the film
version of this erotic bestseller.
Fans will also recognize the
Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, a city
landmark, and buildings at the
University of British Columbia.

Catch Me If You Can (2002)
Another Leonard DiCaprio
blockbuster, director Steven
Spielberg performed his own
cinematic con in this lighthearted
crime drama when he substituted
locations in Quebec for France. What
is allegedly Montrichard Square
in the Loire Valley is actually the
church of Notre Dame des Victoires
in Québec City (p260). Other French
scenes were shot in Montréal
(p238), including at the Lionel-
Groulx Metro Station.
