Pretty cool article, and as an American I appreciate you guys doing it. One question: isn't the place from the Untouchables also in the Dark Knight when they're having a funeral for Commissioner Loeb? It looks identical.

I really enjoyed that article! Some iconic images and it was really cool seeing them in real-life (so to speak). Makes me wish I went to a school in LA though!!

Great great article but the article name was 99 American movie locations and you seem to of stuck to LA & NYC. Now I know that most movies are filmed in these locations but i was expecting a little more iconic locations. In my spare time i like to try find movie locations through google earth and street view and have found loads that i would of expected to be in an article like this. For example the house from the bruce willis movie Hostage, Sleepless in seattle House, Teen Wolf house, Jim's house from American Pie, Murtaugh house from Lethal Weapon, Jerry Maguire house etc... Would love you to do another of these articles but make it more open.
