   • The Blues Brothers (1980) From its depiction of the bustling, late ’70s Maxwell Street flea market to a climactic chase sequence that winds through Lower Wacker Drive to Daley Plaza, The Blues Brothers is a loving homage to John Belushi’s hometown.
   • High Fidelity (2000) John Cusack transferred the action of Nick Hornby's novel, about a man-child record store owner whose rock-snob music knowledge is no help in saving his failing relationship, from London to Chicago.
   • Cooley High (1975) Often described as a "black American Graffiti," Cooley High looked back with nostalgia on the early ’60s at the real-life Old Town high school that was largely fed by the Cabrini-Green housing project.
   • Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986) Ferris Bueller is up to no good in this ’80s John Hughes classic, in which the high school senior plays hooky and gets into all kinds of trouble with friends as they run around downtown Chicago, including stopping for a little tour of the Art Institute of Chicago, catching a Cubs game and riding center stage in a downtown parade.

   • Scarface (1932) - 7.7. 1983's Scarface is one of the most iconic movies ever, but many people don't know that the Miami-based movie is actually a remake of a much older film from 1932.
   • Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) - 7.7. Glengarry Glen Ross turned 30 this year, but the movie is still as relevant today as it has ever been, as it depicts the inherent stress and constant worry salespeople have about losing their jobs.
   • Road To Perdition (2002) - 7.7. Road to Perdition is influenced by a 1930s Chicago gangland, but it isn't based on any true story or real-life mobster. Instead, it follows an original character and tells a wonderful story while depicting what it was like living in the period.
   • Home Alone (1970) - 7.7. Home Alone is one of many John Hughes movies that take place in Chicago. The beloved filmmaker always made great use of his hometown, and he always made sure to make it look incredible.
