Films made in Buffalo.....

This month, another movie that appears to be filmed in my home town of Buffalo, NY will hit the screens. Bruce Almighty stars Jim Carrey as a TV news reporter who gets to play God.....literally. Jennifer Aniston plays his girlfriend.

You've seen the reviews, and maybe the trailer. I love the shot where's he's walking on water....in the middle of Lake Erie, and Buffalo City Hall is in the background. They also use the Snap! song "The Power" in the soundtrack. (How many movies has it been in now? I rememebr hearing it in "The Fisher King" back in 1990.)

I'll probably go see it by myself when it comes out. My wife will stay home; she can't stand Jim Carrey.

So....what other movies were partially filmed in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area? If my memory serves me correctly......

• Hide In Plain Sight (1980) -- starred James Caan and was based on actual events
  
• Best Friends (1982?) -- starred Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn
  
• The Natural (1985) -- starred Robert Redford as a baseball player. It was filmed in the now-demolished War Memorial Stadium. (I just love the ending!)
  
• Canadian Bacon (1995) -- starred Alan Alda, John Candy, Rhea Perlman, and Dan Aykroyd. In an effort to boost sagging popularity polls, the President declares war on Canada. Directed by Michael Moore.
