The Shining (1980)

The classic horror film by Stanley Kubrick takes place at the Overlook Hotel, but the exterior shots actually belonged to the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood Oregon. Legend has it that the lodge's management requested Kubrick avoid filming in room 217 (as written in the book) for fear that guests would not want to stay there, so Kubrick changed the script to room 237, which didn't exist.
