	Thought Ocean's Eleven was filmed in Las Vegas?

	This is filmed there, not set there, right?

	@Chriskotx mostly set there but i'm sure you could catch a few that are only filmed there. let me know of those, though. i'd prefer to remove as many as possible.

	@sammetsfan. The reason I asked is that I dont recall any to reference San Diego (or even California) in Citizen Kane. His Xanadu was supposed to be located in Florida I believe.

	Nice idea and fun, but you need to be much clearer on the filmed there vs. set there. Pretty Woman is definitely set in LA (she's a Hollywood hooker), some of the Deer Hunter was filmed in Cleveland but it is set in western Pennsylvania. Air Force One is set on a plane flying from Russia to the US (If they were in Cleveland at some point I completely missed it), and Tombstone is set in, well, Tombstone with a bit of Tucson. The Lethal Weapon movies are LA - only the opening bombing scene was filmed in Orlando. Finally, if you really mean "set there" you should change your title.

	@chriskotx Citizen Kane takes place in San Diego. Some of it was filmed in Hollywood on a set but the movie is set in San Diego- Balboa Park, The San Diego Zoo, Oheka Castle...etc (all prevalent in the film). @confused It is clear by the title that I am referring to "filmed in", but I try to stick to takes place in so it is not too hard. Thus, you are right about Pretty Women. I made the change. The Wedding Scenes, the bar scenes and the steel mill scenes of The Deer Hunter are in Cleveland. It is a long film, but in terms of a city associated with the film, the film, about 45%, in large part, takes place in Cleveland and this is referenced in dialogue. Lots of it, over 50% for sure, is in Western Penn, but nobody considers that a city and I think it is more than appropriate to consider the film to be set in both Cleveland and Western Penn. Air Force One is also filmed in Cleveland and not really anywhere else. You are right about Tombstone and Lethal Weapon, though. So I made the changes where needed.

	None of Anchorman was filmed in San Diego.

	@sammetsfan: Your title was clear, but I got confused by your first comment answering chriskotx. I think I see your intent for the setting now, and there's no need to stick to it in the way I had assumed. But then you need to be consistent about the filming. Wasn't Psycho shot entirely on the studio lot in LA? And I'm pretty sure Edward Scissorhands was closer to Tampa Bay. And,jonnyr12 is right about Anchorman. I really like this quiz a lot; having done a similar thing for states and movies I'm impressed you got as many examples as you did; it's harder than it seems to put together. -- Do you think you might get more plays if you changed the category to movies?

	@jonnyr12 TONS of Anchorman was filmed in San Diego- from skyline shots to Balboa Park. @confused edward scissorhands was shot in orlando and orlando suburb...

	confused:	Nov 4th, 2011 at 03:09 GMT		1 point
	Sorry. A very little of Anchorman filmed in San Diego. TONS - the opening, the zoo, the interiors, the bridge... all LA. And for Edward Scissorhands, look at http://www.timburtoncollective.com/articles/es9.html I'm done now. Let the downvotes begin!

	the opening is san diego.... the interiors are meaningless essentially cuz they are just a set and the fact that the movie is set in san diego is mentioned 102 times in the film. that movie so dramatically changed san diego's reputation! no debate here
