Touristy Film Locales.
Discussion
I should imagine that Arley Hall (used in Peaky Blinders) is more popular now than it was. The "Yanks" festival in Saddleworth is a huge event, dragging droves of 60 something GI's in from all over the country. Although not up there amongst the greats in terms of WW2 films, it means a lot to the locals.
Bit of a film nerd here and like visiting sites have been used in movies etc.
More recent ones I've been to, not including those which are more famous for being just landmarks (such as Golden Gate Bridge, White House etc)
Exorcist Steps in Georgetown
LA town Hall (View To A Kill)
Ghostbusters Fire Station, NYC
Friends building, NYC
Katz Deli, NYC (When Harry Met Sally)
Scranton, PA, various locations such as the Steamtown Mall, Cooper's Seafood, Poor Richard's, Alfredo's (Office US)

As said, everywhere in LA, but for me personally, Neptune's Net is a good one (Point Break, the first Fast and Furious).
I've wanted to go there for years & planned to do so last summer but managed to completely cock-up the route & ended up stuck on a massive freeway into the city 
Whenever we go away we research what films have been done there. From memory, we've visited these places:
Paris: "Amelie", "Ronin" (the bar - it was burnt out when we were there), "The Bourne Identity"
Tuscany: Stayed at the B&B which was Russel Crowe's Villa in "Gladiator", and recreated the "walking through wheat" shots with in it the background
Sardinia: Various locations from "The Spy Who Loved Me"
Florence: Scenes from "Hannibal"
Tokyo: had a drink in the Park Hyatt hotel used in "Lost in Translation"
Berlin: "Hanna" (the dilapidated theme park)

Yunkai from Game of Thrones, known locally as Ait-Ben-Haddou. That was my bike, and I rode it there:
Managed to get that shot with nobody else in it, but there were groups of tourists around.
I've never seen GOT but that looks a pretty cool location.Managed to get that shot with nobody else in it, but there were groups of tourists around.
On a similar theme has anyone been any of the Star Wars locations in Tunisia?

To be honest neither have I! It's a real village and there are a handful of people who still live there.About 50 yards away, in the direction the bike is pointing, was also the location for some of the scenes from Gladiator.

Your pic also made me think of Dan Walsh's book.
