Wonder Boys is the best of Pittsburgh?

They're putting that ahead of Dogma, Sudden Death, Striking Distance and the live action Inspector Gadget?

I'm in LA now so that does count but when I was a kid,

Cocoon, then later The Punisher.

/yeah but those were the only ones so by default the best

Clerks

The_Sponge		2012-07-18 11:41:46 AM

Ugh....I don't have a good list to choose from......Sleepless in Seattle, Assassins, Love Happens (what a schmaltzy piece of crap), etc.

So my answer is "It Happened at the World's Fair", only because Elvis was in it.

Rusty Shackleford		2012-07-18 11:42:30 AM

Hmmm...

Action: X-Men series;

RomCom: Bird on a Wire;

Caper: Harry in Your Pocket (1973);

Classy: Five Easy Pieces, Little Women (1994 version)

What about "Say Anything" or "Singles"?

Both are excellent movies filmed in/near Seattle.

Mugato		2012-07-18 11:47:46 AM

Bonkthat_Again: Clerks

Cool, is the Quik-Stop still around?

The_Sponge		2012-07-18 11:50:22 AM

I haven't seen either one (just 10 minutes or so of "Singles", so I really can't make a call on those).

On a side note, "Saving Silverman" takes place in Seattle, but was filmed in Vancouver.

DEY TOOK ER JERBS!!!!!

The_Sponge		2012-07-18 11:51:04 AM

Wait....I have my best answer:

Harry and the Hendersons

Or as they called it in Highlander: The Series -- "Seacouver"

Yeah they do that. They even try to push Vancouver as NYC sometimes.

IIRC, the biggest location fark-up I've seen was on an episode of "The A-Team". They go to Miami Beach, but you can see the Santa Monica Mountains in the background.

'She's Out of My League'

It's also the only movie ever shot in my town

FreakinB		2012-07-18 12:03:00 PM

Lots of movies have been filmed on Long Island, but apparently Jesse, which I've never seen, had parts filmed in my town specifically.

Rapmaster2000		2012-07-18 12:03:36 PM

Smokey and the Bandit.

ObeliskToucher		2012-07-18 12:04:35 PM

Robocop 2

Well part of Prefontaine was shot at my parent's house.

Grapple		2012-07-18 12:06:31 PM

Sleeper, but only for that house up in Genessee

cletusnbrandine		2012-07-18 12:06:59 PM

All of John Waters' movies. Serial Mom being number 1, since it was filmed at my high school while i was a senior.

omahatattoo		2012-07-18 12:07:06 PM

About Schmidt, Election, or To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar!

Bindyree		2012-07-18 12:07:19 PM

Where I grew up: Citizen's Band AKA Handle With Care

Where I live now: Any number of things because it's San Francisco. I enjoyed Foul Play and What's Up Doc personally, but I guess there's probably more classic / funnier / pointy-headed movies out there that I just haven't seen or didn't enjoy as much.

Anderson's Pooper		2012-07-18 12:07:28 PM

The Natural. I was an extra

StochasticLife		2012-07-18 12:07:33 PM

Hoosiers (sigh).

I grew up in the area around the high school they used for the external shots of the high school in the movie. *&^%ing everyone in that area ended up being an extra somewhere. It was all anyone would ever talk about well into the 90's

To this day, I still haven't seen it.

titwrench		2012-07-18 12:08:22 PM

Not a movie but Veronica Mars was shot on my very block quite often. Stu Segal Studios is right outside my window at work too so lots of stuff goes on there.

gonzojohn		2012-07-18 12:09:18 PM

Stripes.

Rusty Shackleford		2012-07-18 12:10:18 PM

Oh, and featuring a certain lighthouse:

Here's to Life (with Ossie Davis and James Whitmore);

Watchtower (Tom Berenger--crappy movie, but the lighthouse looked great);

Pictures of Hollis Woods (TV movie with Sissy Spacek, who is two feet tall in real life);

Robocop or Office Space

NashMcNash		2012-07-18 12:10:30 PM

Silence of the Lambs, The Deer Hunter, Super 8, Unstoppable were all shot (at least in part) in my area. Fools' Parade was shot in my hometown.

weird that the 3rd part wasnt filmed here

Crewmannumber6		2012-07-18 12:11:56 PM

The George Clooney film Ides Of March shot some exterior shots about a half mile from my house

wildcardjack		2012-07-18 12:11:57 PM

I'm in Dallas, so while we do have plenty of great porno shot here there's also a hefty amount of movie making done. Although I have no idea what movies have been done that would be better than Debbie.

It was fun to watch the occasional episode of Walker and try to figure out where they were driving.

I've never watched the show Dallas although the audio engineer used to be one of my teachers in high school.

Funny, the only two movies that are coming to mind right now are Necessary Roughness (1991) and An Given Sunday (1999)

I'll take the other 1/2 of it. Providence checking in.

Crudbucket		2012-07-18 12:12:49 PM

I'm not aware of any, but you can see my hometown on this map in a scene from, "So I Married an Axe Murderer."

Does that count?

I think I remember hearing the same thing about I Dream of Jeanie. That was supposed to be in Coco Beach and you could always see the mountains. Florida must suck to shoot in, which is probably why Disney and Universal sunk so much money in studios that didn't go anywhere.

And in CSI Miami, the Florida license plates are on the front of the car! I mean maybe I'm being pedantic but that seems like a fairly easy detail to not fark up.

magic_patch		2012-07-18 12:13:48 PM

I was excited when they filmed some of World War Z in Glasgow, but now it looks like it's going to be stinking turd of a movie.

:(
