Favorite Movie Set in San Francisco

Post by Tommy Bunz »

Outside of NYC, I'm not sure any other city can claim as many classic movies. There's probably half a dozen classic noir movies that didn't even make the cut for this poll alone.

great poll. Zodiac probably best captures San Francisco as a city and the transitions it made over a significant period of time.

the best film though is easily Vertigo.

Bullit is the quintessential sf film.

I usually frown upon people who post that they're choosing something that isn't a poll option...

Zodiac.
I have an uncomfortable level of love for that movie. Best Fincher Movie easily for me.

Maltese Falcon is the best movie on here and that says a lot considering a few of these are nearly flawless. MF might be a top 10 american film of all time though.
