According to a blog from Princeton University, one of the first dialogue films was shot at Princeton in 1929.

In 1998 Princeton was the location for "One True Thing" with Meryl Streep and Renee Zellweger.

Remember "Transformers 2: Revenge Of The Fallen" with Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox?

Parts of that film were shot at New Jersey's Princeton University.
