I left When Harry Met Sally off my list because it doesn't feel like a Chicago movie.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

As much as I hate John Landis I admit the list would not be complete without The Blues Brothers.

Not only was The Blues Brothers a great Chicago-based/made film, but it was the start of all the other great Chicago-made films over the next 15-20 years, because it made the city realize how much money could be generated from a big Hollywood film being made in the city.

I recently watched The Best of the Blues Brothers. An interesting clip show including scenes of Dan Aykroyd interviewing Elwood.

Thanks, Cashmere! Something's weird with Gmail but I'll send it as soon as I can, or possibly I've already sent it twice so apologies if you get three copies of the same email.
