Just recently watched this movie, thought it was good for the most part. Had no idea it was set in Seattle before I watched it. As a Seattle resident myself, it occurred to me afterwards, I couldn't think of many major movies set in Seattle. There's Chronicle, Wargames, Fat Kid Rules the World, Sleepless in Seattle (that one's obvious) that immediately came to mind. Are there any others?

shareSay Anything.
shareThe greatest of all, of course, is "It Happened at the World's Fair." With Elvis!
"Trouble in Mind" is set in a fictionalized version called "Rain City," with real locations.
Some other ones:
"Battle in Seattle" (okay, it was largely filmed in Vancouver)
"Saving Silverman" (entirely filmed in Vancouver, but still....)
"House of Games"
"The Fabulous Baker Boys"
"Cinderella Liberty"
"Disclosure"
"Little Buddha"
"Fifty Shades of Grey" (haven't seen it, but the trailers say so)
On geography, I'll throw in one hyper-critical niggle, which I don't think counts as a goof, but anyway:
When they leave Annika's neighborhood (somewhere in the north part of Seattle) to visit her mother, there's a quick shot that implies they're driving east over the 520 bridge, but the neighborhood where her mother lives looks nothing like anyplace on the Eastside. The construction and spacing of the mother's (and other) houses are of an older vintage, characteristic of various Seattle-proper neighborhoods that predate WWII.
