Hmmmm...being as I'm not from Seattle, I thought it would be fun to come up with a list of movies that were filmed in Seattle or have used the city as a backdrop for the plot. That way I can do some more Seattle research (j/k)
I can only come up with one right now.

1.) Singles (Cameron Crowe)


Any more good ones....

Another Cameron Crowe one = "Say Anything". But there're some obscure ones, too... I just saw one the other day, what was it... no, not "Sleepless in Seattle," don't even go there... there's "10 Things I Hate About You," but that's not the one I saw... shit, I can't remember it. I'll remember it tomorrow.

There's also "The Ring".

This article from the PI identifies a few Seattle-based but B.C.-filmed (including "Agent Cody Banks", "Rock Star" and "Saving Silverman") : http://seattlepi.nwsou...

"Grey's Anatomy", although a TV show and not a movie, is set in Seattle.

Life or Something Like It with Angelina Jolie

and don't forget An Officer and a Gentleman - mostly filmed just up the Sound at Fort Worden in Port Townsend - a gorgeous spot.

American Heart with Jeff Bridges.  I think it was a complete flop but was filmed near an old apartment we had.

Around the mid-80s I saw (what I believe was) a documentary called "Streetwise."  It was a rather compelling movie that featured young teen prostitutes and drug dealers in Seattle.  I haven't seen it on any video rental shelves in years, but I'd watch it again if I got the chance.
