Chicago is such an amazing city that numerous movies have been filmed or set here. John Hughes actually went so far as to make a career out of writing, shooting, and directing films basically just in the Chicagoland area. Here are some of our favorite movies that are filmed in Chicago,\u00a0in no particular order (because we really can\u2019t rank these):<\/p>\n

Risky Business<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Risky Business is a famous movie that was filed in Chicago that is\u00a0famous for one key scene<\/a>, and you’ve probably imitated it at least once while you were playing hookie from school. With its lead character being a Chicagoan, many of the shots feature Chicago locations like The Drake Hotel, O\u2019 Hare Airport, and other various locations around the Chicagoland area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Break Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a>
Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston at Wrigley Field.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Finally, good ol\u2019 Vince knocks one out of the park. This Chicago movie starts off at the iconic Wrigley Field and the phenomenal Chicago scenery just keeps on rolling. From shots of the skyline to Michigan Avenue, there isn\u2019t much that The Break Up doesn\u2019t show you about Chicago. Bonus points because they also totally show you the city in the winter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Chicago movie focuses on every traveler\u2019s nightmare: having what should be a two-hour flight from New York to Chicago turn into a three-day ordeal. While most of this film doesn\u2019t take place in the city\u00a0or even in Illinois, it\u2019s totally a Chicago movie. Everything from the dialogue to the fact that the movie ends at the La Salle\/Van Buren CTA Station just screams Chicago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Untouchables<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cHe sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago way!\u201d You can\u2019t even make a list about anything in the city without at least giving Al Capone a nod.\u00a0This movie was filmed in Chicago and focuses on getting Capone in the Prohibition era.\u00a0It definitely captures the spirit and history of Chicago. Hell, we\u2019re still trying to figure out if Capone or Daley has the record for most terms held as mayor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My Best Friend’s Wedding is a movie that was filed in Chicago,\u00a0and it does an excellent job of showing important landmarks. Not only is a good portion of\u00a0this Chicago movie filmed at Comiskey Park (or US Cellular as it\u2019s known to you, youngins), but they also feature quite a few driving scenes that show Chicago in all its glory. Our only complaint here is that you actually don\u2019t drive north on Lake Shore Drive when coming back <\/em>from O\u2019Hare.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Home Alone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, so technically, this movie is in the \u2018burbs, but we\u2019re still including it because it depicts the rare point of Macaulay Culkin\u2019s life when he wasn\u2019t super creepy looking. The Home Alone house<\/a> is actually in Winnetka, and it sold just recently. Movie fun fact: John Candy\u2019s role in Home Alone was actually inspired by his character in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wayne\u2019s World<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wayne\u2019s World! Wayne\u2019s World! Party Time! Excellent! Sorry, now that we have that out of the way, we can talk about why this is a great Chicago film. While it is set in Aurora, and not much of the movie is actually filmed in the city, we\u2019re arguing that the characters featured are iconically Chicago, and the coolest scene <\/a>(you know the one) in the movie features tons of local Chicago spots, including White Castle. Plus, Wayne and Garth are huge Blackhawks fans. Is there really anything more Chicago?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Batman: The Dark Knight<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This movie tries to pass off our great town after something called \u201cGotham City.\u201d Puh-lease. This is totally Chicago! From the pedway to Lower Wacker, the amazing shots in this movie were all filmed in\u00a0Chicago. They even show the Chicago Theatre and the Marina Towers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blues Brothers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were on a mission from God. It was 60 miles to Chicago, they had a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it was dark, and they were wearing sunglasses. Hit it. Okay, Okay, we\u2019ll stop. This is probably the most quotable movie on our list, and it\u2019s also one of the most iconically Chicago films. What\u2019s great about this is that pretty much everything was filmed in Chicago, and even the \u201caccents\u201d are on point or authentic (Belushi is from Chicago). The Old Dixie Mall in Harvey, the 95th<\/sup> Street bridge, Wrigley, Joliet Correctional Center, and many, many more are featured in this classic.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chicago\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no making a list about Chicago movies without mentioning Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off. After all, he has the ultimate day out in the city! Cubs game, Art Institute, and even the Sears (Willis) Tower are visited. Now, how he managed to do all of those things and be home by 6 pm is a post for an entirely different time (mostly because we have no idea how the hell that\u2019s even possible).<\/p>\n
