There are tons of films shot and set in San Francisco. I’ve tried to watch every one and have seen alot of them. I also make sure when I find out a film is set in San Francisco I for sure catch it. Recently I watched a film called Kiss Them For Me a film starring Carey Grant and Jayne Mansfield. It was a forgettable film shot here in San Francisco – many scenes off of a balcony in the Fairmont Hotel overlooking the San Francisco Bay. So it gave me the idea to create this list of the Top 10 Films set in San Francisco for San Francisco Photos (SFPhotorama.com). Enjoy the list and the films!

1. Vertigo
2. Bullitt
3. The Game
4. Dark Passage
5. Pacific Heights
6. Milk
7. What’s Up Doc?
8. Dirty Harry
9. The Conversation
10. The Joy Luck Club

If you have a list yourself of your favorite films set in San Francisco please feel free to comment and let me know what they are. I’ll most likely collect another top 10 list for a future post.

I finally saw Bullitt starring Steve McQueen which I really enjoyed and did some research for it online and was lucky enough to find this site that has before and after shots of most of the shooting locations throughout San Francisco.

It would be fun to actually go to these locations and do some photos today as most of the modern photos at the link are from 2002. Things could have changed even more by now.

The most unique location was the Daniels Hotel location along the Embarcadero with the elevated highway that ran along the Embarcadero which are both victims of the 1989 earthquake. So not the location of the Daniels Hotel is the GAP corporate building.

Pretty interesting … check out the film and this site link below and go check out the actual sites that were used to shoot this film. It would be fun!

Bullitt Filming Locations

Was lucky enough to stumble upon the Wild Parrots Of Telegraph Hill here right beside the Hyatt Regency near the Embarcadero so had to snap a couple of pics. It seems like they we’re in a very argumentative mode. After seeing the film The Wild Parrots Of Telegraph it makes sense these parrots can be a little feisty.

Check out the film if you haven’t seen it as it’s quite good.
