Tomb Raider
Looks pretty unbelievable, right? Most of the famous movie was filmed in Los Angeles on a studio set, a few of the reference shots were taken in the Siem Reap Province city of Angkor, Cambodia. Many ancient temples reside in Angkor, but the one that is known to Tomb Raider fans is likely the Ta Prohm temple. Here, the Mahayana Buddhist monastery sat, though later was turned into a university for those studying Buddhism. These days it's a tourist attraction for people who want to stand under the really big tree that Angelina Jolie did.
