Body of Evidence was partially filmed in Lake Oswego, OR when I was in high school there. I recognized particular intersections in Mr. Holland’s Opus, set in Portland. And all Oregonians are still wondering how little Samwise Gamgee was able to see Canon Beach from Astoria.
Off-topic interjection: I and my brother were born at Deaconess, and my mom grew up in Mt Vernon. Small world.
As for the thread, OTTOMH I can think of Cocoon, Lethal Weapon 3, Goodfellas, The Punisher, and A Time to Kill. However, none of these were primarily shot here except for The Punisher. The rest of them were just a few scenes here and there. And of course, the other contributions from RikWriter and Carm6773… We don’t live very far apart, so I’m counting them too.
Spiderman filmed some exterior shots about two blocks from the theater where we viewed the movie. There was a cheer for the local shot. For those interested, when he first discovers his powers, he swinging around Forest Hills. One of the exterior shots shows a green grocer, Natural, where I frequently shop.
I’ve been inconvenienced by far too many movie shoots, and by self-important stars appearing on Letterman. My best friend lived one block from the Sullivan Theatre, which was directly between the subway stop and his apartment building. I bypassed a few blockades rather than go out of my way. My delusions of grandeur are much greater than theirs!
