A few spring to mind because they're in movies I like:

Broken Hill, Australia - Wake in Fright, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Tocopilla, Chile - Where Alejandro Jodorowsky grew up and shot his last two movies.

Isle Royale, Michigan - It's an island in a lake with a lake in it that has an island.

The little Polish (formerly German) village my grandma grew up in. She never got to see it again after the war, so I want to make the pilgrimage there in remembrance of her.

The family treasure is also supposedly still buried there, but I don't think the locals would appreciate a random German digging holes in their village so I'll refrain from searching for it...
