It's like Speed ! Which is an elevator movie, a bus movie, and a subway movie, all in one!

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

HA!
Well, Pushing Tin seemed even less well connected than Speed. At least the three parts of Speed were all action movie.
The three parts of Pushing Tin seem really disjointed. Like, buddy comedy, romantic entanglement movie, and messed up guy gets his head cleared movie.

Kind of like the two halves of Life Is Beautiful ?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Top Ten Greatest Chicago Movies
I had to dash off a quick list before I peeked and it ended up so:
1. High Fidelity (the city is a character in the film)
2. The Blues Brothers
3. Ferris Beuller's Day Off
4. The Untouchables
5. Risky Business
6. What Women Want (see High Fidelity)
7. Chicago Cab (AKA Hellcab) (only recommended for hard core Chi-tonw fans)
8. Chicago (kinda has to make the list, huh?)
9. Adventures in Babysitting (great use of architecture ;)
and with my crystal ball I peer in to the future and know that one day:
10. The Time Traveler's Wife.
With the exception of number 10, which of course I haven't yet seen, I think the thing that ties these movies together is not that they are great films but that they are great Chicago films. If that makes any sense.
If anyone's keeping track I think the best Pittsburgh film is Innocent Blood.

Uh...Night of the Living Dead?

And of course there's Wonder Boys. I wonder if we could come up with a Pittsburgh 10.

Probably not without including The Fish that Saved Pittsburgh. And really, who needs that?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Dudes, Flashdance! Totally.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. A Detroit 10... 8 Mile is totally mandatory for sense of place. I think that Grosse Pointe Blank gets a place, and... The Crow.
And now I'm out of movies.

A San Francisco Top 10 could have The Rock !
And, er, X-Men 3. Or not.
