Champion  6931      Bellingham, Washington |  Subject: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdropI posted this on another website that I visit daily. I've been to NO twice but, some movies still give me the better image of what New Orleans is or was or should be remembered as. 1. Tightrope with Clint Eastwood as a detective with a dark side 2. One of the Bond movies was there I think?Anything else. Edited by BellinghamSpence 2005-09-02 5:13 PM |

Master 1938 La Crosse | Subject: RE: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdrop Oh, forget the Bond movie. Go rent (or go to Netflix and order) "Dancing to New Orleans." Documentary explaining why and how New Orleans is, or was, the musical soul of the US. |

Wife, Mother, Friend. 2457 South | Subject: RE: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdrop I remember now... Bridget Fonda as a spy went to NO to assisinate a politicio... whats the name... it had Nina Simone music in it.... yeah!! Point of No Return. can't think any others off the top of my head... The Big Easy with Dennis Quaid. Didn't John Goodman also do a New Orleans movie? My MIL gave me this really corny video I didn't much like it. About Cajuns, I remember the best line "you really love someone when you can watch them eat". |

Master 2136 A Prairie Home | Subject: RE: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdrop Runaway Jury. The movie reminded me of how photogenic the French Quarter is (was). Sigh...  |

Wife, Mother, Friend. 2457 South | Subject: RE: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdrop I forget. I think it went out in the Goodwill pile. It was bought for a buck on clearance from the video shop. However, I'm sure it will come to me and I can always ask her. In the book, the Runaway Jury was set in Biloxi. I don't remember the movie, didn't wanna watch the movie as the book usually gets butchered. |

Master 2136 A Prairie Home | Subject: RE: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdrop Someone mentioned "Interview with a Vampire". Wonder if Anne Rice's house made it. What about Cafe du Monde? Well, it seems trivial now. |

Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: Movie with or about New Orleans as a setting/backdrop Supposedly the French Quarter fared pretty well, with some flooding, but nothing destructive. At least that's what I've gathered from reading different news accounts. I'm still thinking about going "home" for Christmas. I hope they have some stuff cleaned up by then and I can spend some money in NOLA to support the economy there. |
