Lights, camera, action! A new report from American Home Sheild revealed the most filmed streets in the U.S., and of course, beautiful San Francisco made it into the top 10.

To find areas with the most "street cred-its," the website "analyzed location data from IMDb to uncover the most filmed streets in the United States."

So which street is the superstar of San Francisco? According to the study, it's Market Street! The street has 22 credits to its name. Here's what AHS had to say about it:

"Market Street is a major artery of San Francisco, and its vibrant daily life has won it roles in 22 movies – more than any other SF location. James Bond made a daring escape along the street in a fire engine in A View To A Kill (1985), but a more touching tribute can be found in this 1906 reel from just days before the Great San Francisco Earthquake. The dramatic hills of Frisco offer a giddy psychological alternative to glamorous LA and gritty NYC. Perhaps the city’s most celebrated appearance is through the rear window of James Stewart’s car in Hitchcock’s Vertigo (1958) – and the action turns around the hero’s encounter with Madeleine at Ernie’s on Montgomery Street, SF’s seventh most credited road."
