86. The House - Halloween (1978)
The house in which Jamie Lee Curtis babysits for the Doyle family, with the Wallace house - where the murders take place - across the street if you turn the camera.
87. City Hall - Out Of The Past (1947)
Robert Mitchum drives down Main Street in Los Angeles in Jacques Tourneur's all-time-classic noir, with the white peak of the City Hall in the far distance.
88. Maroon Cartoons- Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988)
The cartoon studio from Robert Zemeckis' ambitious genre-crosser. It's really Red Studios, a tech company who provide cameras to big productions like The Hobbit, although previously it was Desilu, home of I Love Lucy.
89. Studio Gates - Sunset Blvd. (1950)
Norma Desmond pulls up at the Paramount Pictures entrance. The same gate was also used in The Godfather as Wolz International Pictures. It's the real Paramount gate, although now the lot has expanded so it's now a little further into the site.
90. Santa Monica Pier - Ruthless People (1986)
When Judge Reinhold drives his beat up car into the ocean in this twisting comedy caper he does it here, at the road entrance to the Santa Monica Pier.

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.
