I would go with either Goodwill Hunting, The Town, The Fighter, The Departed, or Gone Baby Gone.

Boston movies seem to do a good job where the place/people from the place adds significant color to the film

Goodwill Hunting, The Departed, The Town all do this well (The Fighter I think did as well and never saw Gone baby Gone) but these movies always give a Boston vibe which to me makes the films more interesting

I loved Mystic River, as it presented a side of Boston that outsiders seldom get to see.

Seattle has had some good ones too.

Sleepless in Seattle

My Favorite is War Games though. I grew up watching that movie.

Notice how nobody from New York, California or Georgia -- the three biggest movie-producing states in the country -- bother to weigh-in. Seems rather pointless.

THat was rude to the rest of the nation and Georgia did chime in and you havent
Its debatable if Georgia is bigger in movie production than North Carolina where Iron Man 3 and Hunger Games the original filmed in.

Dude, it's not even close. Georgia long ago eclipsed NC.

"Georgia-based productions generated $3.1 billion for the state economy in fiscal 2012, up 29 percent from the year before, according to the Georgia Film, Music & Digital Entertainment Office. That puts the state well ahead of regional competitors such as Louisiana ($717 million for calendar 2012) and North Carolina ($278 million for calendar 2012), according to those film offices’ websites."

“Atlanta is the new Hollywood”: Influx of film and TV production boosts economy, attracts actors | ArtsATL

There are several major motion picture and television studios already operating in Georgia with several more ---- including one huge one Pinewood Studios -- under construction.

It is time Atlanta and Georgia started getting recognition for its meteoric rise in the entertainment business. It is truly a remarkable story. Thousands of jobs and billions of dollars are flowing into Georgia through film and TV production now. California is hurting.

PS -- The Humger Games sequel was filmed in Atlanta and rumors are going around that the Avatar sequel will be shot in Georgia as well.
