I'd say these are better:

Barbershop
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
The Untouchables

Guess when I grew up...

Ferris
Breakfast Club
Sixteen Candles
Weird Science

I'll stop there before what little dignity I had is gone...


And, although briefly, Dogma...  only because Jay and Silent Bob were looking for Shermer.

I have to agree with Guy, it's The Blues Brothers for me too. that movie is a slice of Chicago at every turn. I could also see the case for The Untouchables though.

another good Chicago movie that I just recently watched for the first time in its entirety is The Sting.

there were also a lot of Chicago scenes in The Fugitive.

Hey, "Prelude to a Kiss"! Filmed partly in Berwyn! Forgot about that one. (Maybe I blocked it out because of the scene with Alec Baldwin's chest pelt.)

  Blues Brothers! I remember watchin them film the part when they went to the ladies bungalow lookin for the band members. That was shot on 16th and 51st Court in Cicero.
COLOR OF MONEY !! shot in BERWYN  at FITZGERALDS!! How can you Berwynites forget that! A great family outing the moms were lookin for Paul Newman and their teenage daughters were lookin for Tom Cruise. Funny thing is Cruises girlfreind in the movie Mary Elizabeth Mastronto I was told grew up in Oak Park just north of Roosevelt Road.
  Part of Wildcats was shot on Roosevelt and Central at Rockne Stadium.

The bar scene in "A league of their own" was also shot in Fitzgeralds. The "Untouchables"
also shot a scene on Clarence next to St Leonards...

Thanks for the reminder, I rented About Last Night, to watch on this cold, yucky day.  Our family  loves Risky Business, Blues Brothers, Ferris Bueller and all the John Hughes films shot in Chicago.  Don't remember Wildcats, what was that about?  Comedy?

Prelude to a Kiss used the home on the corner of 18th and East Ave. Good topic Guy on Clinton.

I think the new Sandra Bullock/Keanu Reeves movie was shot around her (Oak Park and N. Riverside) last fall/winter.
