The picture Popeye [1980] built a set for the imaginary town Sweethaven in Malta, who kept it intact and maintained, turning it into an attraction. It still exists to this day.

I've got it running in the background, not paying full attention to it but I've caught parts and I remember not being too keen on it as a child, but watching it now, it's kind of surrealistic genius. This happens sometimes, some films the public just doesn't connect with until some years pass.
