Movies set in your City
Reply to Topic
i'm from sacramento california and the geisha was partly filmed here along with chainletter, nite tales, and seventy-five.
The opening scene from "Exit Wounds" is in my city. "Brokeback Mountain" was filmed not too far away as well. Definitely some others, but those are a couple of notable ones.
Fight Club is set in my city; Wilmington, Delaware baby.

Yup, American Graffiti. Not filmed in my hometown, Modesto, (it was filmed instead in Petaluma), but it was definitely set in Modesto. Which is actually pretty sad . . . our town loves its famous son and brags about it, but the movie was pretty much a big "**** you" . . . not that I can't commiserate with George, even now.
The Departed, Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River... see if you can guess the city 
I'll also add the following: Southie
Monument Avenue
Good Will Hunting
see if you can guess the city of the above-mentioned three films.

- Michael Clayton has a bit in Milwaukee , although they could have filmed it anywhere - there weren't any landmarks.
- Synders Dawn of the Dead is supposedly set in Wisconsin , although it was filmed in Canada.
In Mr. 3000 Bernie Mac is a player for the Brewers , but apart from the scenes in Miller Park , it was filmed somewhere else. (I knew a bunch of people who were extras in the stadium).
In Reservoir Dogs it is revealed that Mr. White (Harvey Keitel) was born and raised in Milwaukee - and he's a brewers fan.
- Ridley Scott's new movie Public Enemies was filming in Wisconsin and Milwaukee (not super sure on Milwaukee) - for awhile.
I haven't seen this movie , but I guess lots of the scenes were filmed in the old County Stadium.

And somehow you forgot "DeFazio & Feeney"...

There was a quick scene from The Happening that took place in Jacksonville. Other than that I can't think of a single movie that takes place here.

Closest I can get is Striking Distance that was shot in Pittsburgh, PA. I liked it a lot, and it freaked my little sister out that it was so close to home.

The drama Crowley is currently filming all around Portland, Oregon. Directed by Tom Vaughan (Starter for 10, What Happens in Vegas) starring Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell with Courtney B. Vance, Jared Harris and Dee Wallace. They filmed for at least one day at the historic Oaks Amusement Park, just down the hill from my apartment.
