Many people come to California for a little taste of movie magic. If you’re one of them, be sure to satisfy your longing for the lights of Hollywood by booking a budget hotel near Sony Pictures Studio in Los Angeles, birthplace of some of the most popular films of the last two decades. While it’s ostensibly “Sony Studios”, this attraction is also home to the historic MGM Studios, and also a number of taped programs for outside local distribution.
Because of the association with MGM, visitors here are bound to come away spellbound after witnessing firsthand the locations where some of the most popular films of all time, including “Gone With the Wind”, “Ben-Hur”, “Mutiny on the Bounty”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “Singin’ in the Rain,” and “Anna Karenina”. After being acquired by Sony Pictures, many guided tours and tourist-friendly installments were made and as a result, visitors to the area can now sit in on tapings of popular shows such as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and many more.
