Thats right, I forgot about that movie.Tom Hanks lived in a home in Barrington Hills (they painted it green) and some scenes were filmed in "downtown" Dundee.

I was also told a movie about Babe Ruth was filmed here, but I am not familiar with it.

Was going to mention The Beast as well. I saw Patrick Swayze when they were filming at Washington and Garland.

60617 Zip Code... A few years back the movie Barbershop 1 & 2 was filmed over here, but I never saw it filmed, however I saw the movie Lakehouse with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock being filmed at Navy Pier a while ago.

Saw Batman & Ledger Heath being filmed under the el near the Chicago Ave Brown line station. Also saw Patrick Swayze going into big trailer on Kinzie when I was having a smoke outside of Kinzie Chophouse...

Anyone see the filming of My Big Fat Greek Wedding? What neighborhood was that filmed in? Some areas look close to downtown, others near the lake, etc. Hard to pinpoint...

Most of it was filmed in Toronto. I don't think much was filmed here at all. I would have to watch it again to pick out any Chicago shots.

I saw a movie called 'Chicago Overcoat' being filmed on Princeton and 31st in Bridgeport. They were filming a scene outside Franco's Restaurant.

I remember a neighborhood scene with the high-rises of the Loop (Sears Tower, etc) in the background. It didn't seem to fit with any neighborhoods near the loop however, so I suspect it was filmed in Toronto with the high-rises inserted in the background in post-production.
