And weren't there a few Chicago scenes in Risky Business?
I haven't seen Adventures in Babysitting but heard that they filmed all the Chicago scenes in Toronto

Road to Perditiion.
Groundhog Day, set in PA but actually filmed in Woodstock, and on the Amstutz in Waukegan.
How about that obscure 1980 movie, Ordinary People?
The Fury. Didn't that have scenes filmed in the Old Chicago mall in Bolingbrook?

Yes.

I saw The Ramones and Roy Orbison play there.

My favorite? The Blues Brothers -- I saw them shooting the movie while I was studying for the bar.

There was also Mahogany, Native Son, Ali, When Harry met Sally and Barbershop -- all had shots of the southside.

It was a TV series, not a movie, but I thought the Chicago locations were filmed in an excellent manner; it was Kolchak: the Night Stalker (the original series with Darren McGavin). This was one of the best television series ever made.

Especially the use of the old Sherman Hospital. They had a real hospital but didn't have to work around patients.
