96. The House - Double Indemnity (1944)
The big white house where Barbara Stanwyk's scheming housewife lives, which is still up in the Hollywood Hills on Quebec Drive.
97. The Palomino - Every Which Way But Loose (1978)
The site of the old Palomino nightclub - as visited by Clint Eastwood in the movie - is now Le Monge Banquet Hall on Lankershim Avenenue.
98. The Meet-Up - Union Station (1950)
The Los Angeles train station around which the action in this classic noir is focused. Blame a pesky one-way system for us not being able to get you in for a closer look.
99. The Neighbourhood - Once Upon A Time In America (1984)
Some of the most iconic location shots are of New York's bridges, but none can match this beautiful image from Sergio Leone's mobster masterpiece, which shows the Manhattan Bridge from the corner of Water and Washington Street in Brooklyn.

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.
