    New Orleans as we have known may be gone, but the memory is still there if we go back and look at all the movies in which the "Big Easy" was featured. The following are right off my head. Feel free to add on any you can think of in similar format.

    "Live and Let Die" (1973) starring Roger Moore and Jane Seymour

    "Tightrope" (1984) starring Clint Eastwood

    "Hard Target" (1993) starring Jean-Claude Van Damme

    "Double Jeopardy" (1999) starring Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones








    "Girls Gone Wild - Mardi Gras" (year unknown) starring wild girls

    Hmm, how can I forgot "Runaway Jury?" :(

    Thanks FrontRowJoe for the show stopper! :mad:

    105 total according to the IMDB! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I guess the question now becomes how many and what have you seen.

    Right now they drop some cameras in there and film "Escape From New Orleans"


    I remember a pretty good movie that shows up on HBO every now and then called Storyville with James Spader.

    There’s this one flick called “The Big Easy” with Dennis Quaid that I think might have a scene or two in New Orleans. ;)
