Due in large part to unfavourable UK tax laws for inward investment in the UK film industry, the 1990s were precarious, and witnessed an all-time low in British film production generally. However, many large-scale productions, such as "Alien 3", Tim Burton's "Batman Returns" and three further Bond films, "GoldenEye", "Tomorrow Never Dies" and "The World Is Not Enough", kept Pinewood operating. As well, "Swear It Again", the debut music video of the first single by Irish pop vocal band Westlife, was shot at the studios in 1999. The Rank Group owned the studio until 2001, when it sold Pinewood to a group led by Michael Grade and Ivan Dunleavy.

In 1994, Eon Productions' "James Bond" film "GoldenEye" was to be the next film in the series. Pinewood Studios, their traditional home studio, was fully booked with other productions, not being prepared for the series' unexpected return. Facing little time to find a space in which they could build the number of large scale sets required, the production discovered the unoccupied Leavesden. The wide, tall and open aircraft hangars were uniquely well suited to conversion into film stages. Eon leased the site for the duration of their shoot and went about gutting the factories, turning them into stages, workshops and offices – in short a working film studio.

The 1960s were buoyant years for Pinewood, which was no longer solely dependent on the Rank Organisation to fill its stages. "Renters" (producers hiring the sound stages for a film-by-film agreement) were using half of the stages as Pinewood turned into a four walls facility. The James Bond franchise began at Pinewood with the Terence Young directed "Dr. No" (1962), and has continued to be based at the studios since then. J. Arthur Rank (by then Lord Rank) retired as chairman in 1962 and was succeeded by John Davis, who had begun to move the Rank Organisation away from mass film production and towards more profitable and less risky businesses such as bingo and holidays.

It was merged with the Rank Organisation's Pinewood Studios to form D&P Studios; Pinewood is just 4 miles south of Denham. Film makers were said to prefer Denham as a location, leading to Pinewood Studios being used for storage during the Second World War. Some of the notable films made at Denham include, "The Thief of Bagdad", "49th Parallel", "Brief Encounter", "Great Expectations", "Hamlet". Bernard Miles said that "when the technicians, the electricians and carpenters and so on, on the floor, who had been watching a scene filmed, applauded, you knew it was good, because they'd seen the best." Colin Sorensen, who as a schoolboy often watched the work going on at Denham recalled the sight "of the main studio buildings, a great mass of, probably asbestos, grey-green roofs" and the smell of "cellulose paint merged with newly cut soft wood." The proximity of Denham Aerodrome was sometimes problematic.

Principal photography for the film began on 16 January 1995 and continued until 2 June.

The proximity of the ancient woodland Burnham Beeches and Black Park to Pinewood (as well as to Shepperton and Bray studios) and the outstanding natural beauty of the forest have made Burnham Beeches a desirable filming location for productions being filmed at Pinewood. Burnham Beeches has been used for a large number of films, including "Robin Hood Prince of Thieves", "First Knight", "Goldfinger", "The Princess Bride" and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Fahrenheit 451" at Black Park. Many other films and TV productions have made use of the facilities on offer at the Beeches. ("For a more comprehensive list, see".)

The Company of Youth, the Rank Organisation acting school (often referred to as "The Charm School"), which launched several film careers, was founded in 1945. The next year, Pinewood re-opened for (non-war-related) business. Two landmarks in British film produced at Pinewood were released within two months of each other in 1948: "Oliver Twist", directed by David Lean, and Powell and Pressburger's "The Red Shoes". Due to a shortfall in funds, brought about by financial overspends the previous year, Rank did not have enough money to market "The Red Shoes" sufficiently at first in the US, but it became Rank's biggest earner up to that point, grossing over £1 million (the equivalent of £26 million in 2012 terms).

A total of 23 huge sets of the film were built and shot at more than ten sound stages at Pinewood Studios. "Krull" was a very expensive film to produce, using a budget of $30 million according to "Starlog" magazine. Marshall and Meddings reasoned that the huge budget was due to several changes of concepts in the script that led the designers to have to alter the designs of the sets multiple times. Filming began on 25 January 1983. The first sequence shot was the scene where Ynyr (Freddie Jones) climbs a huge spider web in order to confront the Widow of the Web.

Pinewood Group | Introduction
Since the 1920s, the town has been home to several film studios and many shots of its streets are included in final cuts of 20th century British films. This earned it the nickname of the "British Hollywood". Whilst most of these studios have now closed, two still remain. Many well-known films including "The Dam Busters" (1955), Star Wars (1977–), "Moby Dick" (1956), "Summer Holiday" (1963), "Dr Zhivago" (1965)', "" (1968) and, "The Shining" (1980) starring Jack Nicholson, some of the "Indiana Jones" films were filmed at the former Associated British Studios in Shenley Road. These were partly demolished in the 1980s to make way for a Tesco Extra supermarket on one side and an office block complex on the other.

Between 1916 and 1917, the studio was rented by Fox Film. In 1920 the United States Photoplay Corporation used it for the film "Determination". In 1923, Peter Jones produced the film "How High Is Up?". According to Film Daily (June 1926), the first episode of "The Leather Pushers" (1922) with Reginald Denny was filmed there.

My Family (series 3) | Introduction
Principal photography began on August 31, 2010, in Oxford, England, which included St Aldate's street and some of the University of Oxford's buildings, and lasted for two days. Production then moved to Pinewood Studios in Iver, and to Georgia in October, including Tybee Island, Thunderbolt, and Savannah, after sites in Louisiana, North Carolina and West Michigan were considered. Jekyll Island was chosen over Tybee Island after a producer reviewed the locations on Google Earth and thought the water near Jekyll looked more blue. Palm trees were planted into the island's sand so that it would look more like a tropical beach, but the cold weather caused many of the palm trees to become brown or die only days into the shoot, necessitating significant digital color correction from the visual effects team.
