Top 10 Films Set In San Francisco
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 2:05There 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.
