I loved it, but I'm guessing Matt "B.M." Dillon wouldn't be upset if that dropped off of his resume.

That movie was interesting, but a little far from a Chicago city experience.

How about that obscure 1980 movie, Ordinary People?
[/QUOTE]


i watched ordinary people recently and was marveling at how beautiful the opening scenery was...took me a minute to realize i was looking at our very own north shore.

A manager of the Tremont sends his kid to Lincoln Park high? If you look closely, too, the kid playing the cello in the music scene is just sawing at air. No way is he making any reasonable sound come out.

The movie just did not have a Chicago vibe. Two kids without helmets could ride a motorcycle downtown around the Calder? Right.

Ordinary People was set in Glencoe. The kid and his dad moved to a rougher neighborhood in the city -- Evanston.

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986)

Certainly not a favorite, but a film that scars itself into your brain - hard to imagine anything more grim or depressing.

Filmed on a shoestring, in Wicker Park before it became fashionable. The killers live at 1801 W. North - anyone know what's actually there?
