    I can't think of any off the top of my head except for Boyhood. I know there are others.

    Terms of Endearment
    Reality Bites
    The Swarm (killer bees in the Astrodome!)
    Rollerball (the original)
    Towelhead
    Rush
    parts of The Right Stuff (and really any NASA movie, i.e. Apollo 13)

    Does Robocop II count? Or Rushmore?

    Rushmore

    And for those who don't know: Wes Anderson went to St John's. Reminds me, I should rewatch Bottle Rocket...

    Btw....Question really is how many can we name, not Enough for a Best Of list

    Filmed here, set somewhere else counts for one movie and one movie only. Real Clutchfans will know the answer to this one.
