A 1950s Raoul Walsh picture with Gary Cooper about the Seminole Wars called "Distant Drums" has scenes filmed at the Castilo de San Marcos.

As others have mentioned, there's Recount (which was set mostly in South Florida but filmed in Jacksonville--for example, the Riverplace Tower doubled as Miami's Stephen P. Clark government building)

And there's Sunshine State, which I enjoyed--it offered some good commentary on the problems of overdevelopment and Old vs. New Florida.

I would also add a 1990s television movie, The Babysitter's Seduction. I wouldn't recommend watching it for anything other than the pure cheese factor and for S and Gs, but it will pop up occassionally on Lifetime and some other basic cable networks and featured a cast of Keri Russell, Steven Collins and Phylicia Rashad, and was set and filmed in Jacksonville. Why I actually remember such a movie, I have absolutely no idea. But there's plenty of Jax in it.
