The Blues Brothers (1980)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Not just Chicago, but the whole Chicagoland area, including a well-destroyed mall and hundreds of well-destroyed CPD cars. |
|
The Fugitive (1993)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The Loop has never looked better, or more soullessly evil, than it does in this one. |
|
Risky Business (1983)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| "Have you ever made love on a real train, Joel"? |
|
High Fidelity (2000)
|
|
|
|

|
| Stephen Frears moved the location from London to Chicago and perfectly captured the spirit of the bored 30somethings that inhabit Lincoln Park. |
|
The Untouchables (1987)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Old school Chicago. That bar that blew up under the El tracks was 3 blocks from my apartment. |
|
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
|
|
|
|

|
The Color of Money (1986)
|
|
|
|
|

| Filmed in some of the pleasantly seedy bars along Western Ave. Look for my uncle as an extra! |
|
Backdraft (1991)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Chicago's bravest, and some good fire effects, too. |
|
Eight Men Out (1988)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| More old school Chicago, and one of the best baseball movies ever made. |
|
Stir of Echoes (1999)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Just happened to be set in Chicago, I guess, but gives a good feel for the brownstones on the Northwest side. |
|
Chicago (2002)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The only thing Chicago about this is the name, but it's still a great movie. |
|
The Breakfast Club (1985)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| All you see is the converted gym at New Trier High, so I guess it's not *really* about Chicago, but how could I leave John Hughes off the list? |
