Part of 24 Season 7 was filmed in DC, but a lot of it was also filmed in LA I believe

One of the Transformers movies was filmed in DC, partially anyway

I think A Few Good Men's DC shots were mostly filmed in DC

Depending on your definition of "surrounding areas," there's obviously The Wire in Bawlmer.

Can't forget Wedding Crashers!

I heard that a lot of movies/TV shows that supposedly take place in DC are often filmed in Philly. Similar architecture except the buildings are taller.

If we're doing video games then I think the obvious one might be Fallout 3. Developed just up the road in Bethesda!
