I would say The Blues Brothers has gotta be the flagship of all Chicago movies.

My Bodygaurd is another good one.

And, if you're interested in Cicero History, pick up a copy of the seedy, over the top, gruesome horror flick Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer--there's a scene when Henry and Otis go out looking for hookers and wind up on Cicero Avenue.  They pass right by the old Towne Revue and The Show of Shows. ;)

Blues Brothers is always a classic.  Ferris Bueller is the best.

Other movies filmed in our lovely area:
Home Alone - wasn't that in Barrington?
Road to Perdition - that was Geneva, thought it wasn't bad.
The Weatherman - Downtown (never saw it, not sure I want to)
The Lake House - Part of it was definitely filmed downtown.  It filmed just down the block from my old job and my co-workers went to seek out Keanu Reeves
Ocean 12 - Think that was filmed here as well, don't know how good it was though.

I cant believe not one of you mentioned the greatest Chicago Movie ever made--- Next of Kin!! Swayze, mullets, hillbillies out for vengance!!! I thought this was a cool board :(.
Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this CITY isn't there?

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany than the Berwyn City Council.

The scene in Lake House where Reeves goes to the attorney/boyfriends office was filmed in downtown Riverside. La Pantera was there. The law office is actually the new condo development on Longcommon and Burlington.

Adding to Pantera's Lake House scenes.  The bridge they walked over is next to the Fire station in Riverside.  They procede to a home across the road for the party and porch scene. 

Pantera, missed you at the filming, we were at the house.  Keanu and Sandra were nice, did you get to talk with them?

  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.

Ms. Toronto's house was in Cicero?  I did not know that.  Very cool!
