    great movie, I think most of "The Right Stuff" was shot and set primarily in California during the 50's and 60's.

    That's what I was thinking...except Terms of Endearment...b*tches...:D

    Well, i dont' get all the love for Rushmore...thought it sucked, but to each his own...And I thought the suburban scenes for Arlington Road were filmed in Pearland, but I could be wrong...

    My best friend is a teenage vampire!! I was going to Milby when they were filming and only a handful of students were used as extras.

    Another movie that I'm pretty sure was filmed in Houston or parts of Houston is Leningrad Cowboys, the one about a Finnish band playing in the US.

    When I was a kid there was a movie that was shot on a freeway about 2 mins. from my house. I never saw the cameras or crew people but there was palm trees and stuff. I don't remember the name, but it was around 1993-94, and looking at the list I think it was The Chase. I heard it was about bank robbers or something.

    I think Burt Reynolds got boffed on one of those curvy "parking" areas along Memorial Drive in "The Man Who Loved Women".

    You forgot They Still Call Me Bruce. I can't comment on whether it was good because my Mom made us leave the theater because there was a scene that apparently glorified cocaine.
    My favorites from the list are Brewster McCloud and Rushmore.
