It occurred to me tonight, whilst watching Matrix Revolutions (yeah, I know) that I saw it in Sydney when it came out. And the last scene (Oracle chatting with the Architect) is at the foot of the Sydney Botanical Gardens.
Similarly, I saw IronMan whilst in Santa Monica, so when he flew past the pier and big wheel, the audience went a bit, well, nuts.
Anyone else seen any films in cinemas where the film was actually shot?
ETA - apologies for the apostrophe abuse in the title.

Not film but I read John Krakauer's book 'Into Thin Air' whilst trapped in the high Himalayas.

I watched the Manchurian Candidate in the cinema on Times Square, NYC. At one point in the movie they drive right past that cinema.

'The Holiday', when Diaz comes to the UK is filmed a few miles from where I live.
Certain sections of 'Robin Hood' were filmed a mile or so from my work.
They're filming 'Skyfall' new James Bond film, about 2 miles from work. They've also filmed The World Is Not Enough there too.
The beginning hovercraft bit on Die Another Day was filmed in the next town to where I live.
Casino Royale was filmed at Dunfold park, about 5 miles away.
Plenty others too.. Seems quite a busy area for films around here.

Saw most of Octopussy in udaipur - actually, it is impossible to miss it out there as every hotel seems to show it all the time.

I watched LayerCake in the West India Quay (Canary wharf) Cinema 10 meters away from the Building they hang Daniel Craig off midway though.
A large cheer went up in the Cinema as everyone realised what was going on.

Saw Four Weddings and a Funeral in one of the Thurrock Lakeside cinemas - The funeral has the Dartford Bridge in the background so a bit of a cheer from the Essex crowd

I saw the Andrew Wajda film Katyn in a cinema in Krakow, Poland. A good chunk of the film is set in wartime Krakow including a few shots of the cinema I was watching the film in. A very surreal moment stepping out on to the street at the end and walking down to the main square which minutes earlier I'd seen festooned with swastikas.
