Still breathing sounds particularly dreamy, and I will see as many of these movies as I can. I have that Blockbuster that mails membership so I should be able to get plenty!
I wish I could visit first, but can't, so this is of great help.

Thank you,

Linda, it looks as though googie did a direct cut/paste job from the San Antonio Film Commission web site. To see the full list of films and television shows filmed in SA visit the filming history page:
San Antonio Travel Guide - San Antonio, Texas Events, Attractions, Packages & More
In my opinion the following films, although not all good ones, showcase sites in the city pretty well:
All the Pretty Horses
The Newton Boys
Miss Congeniality
Selena
Blank Check
Cloak and Dagger
The Getaway
Viva Max
Among the TV shows:
Heaven Help Us - short lived syndicated Spelling Production show shot entirely on location in San Antonio - about a newly wed couple that, on the way to a honeymoon, that dies crashing into the RiverCenter Marriott. There they end up in pergatory (on the 13th Floor) where they have to go out and do good deeds in order to be granted entry into Heaven. Starring John Schneider and Ricardo Montalban
J J Starbuck - another short lived series that aired on NBC. Story of a wealthy Texas oil man that travels the country solving crimes in attonement for his focus on business rather than personal relationships. The show was a spin-off of Tenspeed and Brownshoe and starred Dale Robertson.
Knight Rider 2000 - made for TV movie (1991) reprising the Knight Rider TV series in the near future, the year 2000. It is interesting to see San Antonio filmed as a 'city of the future.' An interesting bit of trivia, in one scene a character is carrying a Joske's shopping bag, but the store had closed in 1987. Stars David Hasselhoff.
My Two Loves - a groundbreaking made for TV movie about a widow, who a year after losing her husband, is starting a new life, is wooed by her husband's best friend and confides this to a female co-worker. The two women end up forming a romantic relationship. Stars Mariette Hartley and Lynn Redgrave.
Perry Como Christmas in San Antonio - a holiday special that beautifully showcases the city's historic sites and riverwalk. Stars Perry Como, George Strait and Angie Dickinson.
