6. I'm embarrassed by the movie 'Chicago'.

Actually, the movie with the best 'feel' for Chicago is "The Fugitive", in my opinion.

Others include "High Fidelity", "Road to Perdition" and of course..

"The Blues Brothers" & "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

8. and "The Untouchables"

In particular, the Union Station scene.

Great list!

:toast:

[XNASA]

29. Good Catch.

I guess it's just because I dislike Costner and have grown to dislike Connery that I forgot about it.

But the Union Station scene is PFC.
