The 1999 psychological thriller 8MM -- directed by Joel Schumacher and starring Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix and James Gandolfini -- delves into the dark underworld of illicit film and obsession.
While the story unfolds across various cities as Cage’s character investigates a disturbing snuff film, several key scenes were filmed on Long Island. This includes partial filming at Old Westbury Gardens.
