Friday fun: Geography and Movies

It's easy: You describe a movie and ask for a city/river/mountain etc. that features in it. Whoever answers both questions right posts next.
X marks the spot for Harrison Ford - what is the city's main thoroughfare?

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: Canal Grande in Venice.

yup, you post now

Kate Beckinsale goes to stay with some very strange relatives: What's the nearest town?

Cold Comfort Farm, but no idea about the town.
Anyone?

Howling (apparently)

@BTR right according to google
Your go.

Yep, Howling. Sorry about the delay.

Hmm, BTR seems to be AWOL.
Henry Fonda kills a man and his sister has a still-born baby - in which state of the US?

Grapes of Wrath? Oklahoma?

California. Grapes of wrath

I knew it was one of the two.

Magneto tries to steal a mutant who robs all mutants of their powers and uses a pretty unique way to get to him!

Xmen III San fran
Is this right or no?

If so then this one:

Boy returns home to bury his mother and realises nothing is wrong with himself despite his fathers opinion.
Movie and city (its on the east coast).

Garden State, New Jersey

Allershausen, what happened? No new poser for us?
If not then Elfenstar has another go.

Elfenstar got it.

New Jersey is a state, not a city.

Now, if I could just remember what city it was...

Don't want to quibble, especially since I don't know the answer, but what movie is it?

Garden State is the name of the movie; it's a nickname for New Jersey.

That's exactly why I thought it wasn't the name of the movie.

OK, real answer would of course be Garden State, Garden State. I thought the state was part of the question. Lessee what Allershausen comes up with.

Newark. Garden State is also a reference to a state of mind ( since he had anger issues).

Sorry, I was waiting for confirmation!
James Bond drives a Toyota sports car instead of his Aston Martin.

@ Allershausen: And the geography question is?

Sorry, which country?

Toyota as Bond's featured car? Didn't think he ever had one. One appears in You Only Live Twice in Tokyo/Japan I think

Thats the one. A special Toyota 2000. Toyota 2000

Alec Guinness doesn't use force to build a bridge over the river in this country...

A bridge on the river kwai. Burma!

Movie is different than book so I will ask for movie.

Top Five Music guy with top five break ups. Where is the city (and movie title).

High Fidelity Chicago.

Where did my brother and I find the county Tax Assessor's office? Movie, name of county and name of the plaza we drove through.

Great minds JJ!

Blues Brothers, Cook County, Daley Center.

@JJ
You know movies where based out of Chicago also.

Correct.


Nothing worthwhile

Saw that movie for the first time after I moved to Chicago.

Personal tutoring for conmen. Title and town, please.

school of scoundrels I think New York? I am not sure if this is it.

@perdido: nope nope

You sure?

yes. School For Scoundrels is about a confidence building class led by a jerk. This is a completely different movie.

Well I never saw it but saw the trailer. It looked crappy and I guess I was right.

I decided the same thing about School for Scoundrels. This is an older movie.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Beaumont sur Mer?

Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner!

Five criminal suspects result in 27 bodies and $91 million in missing drug money in a exploded boat, the only survivor a very scared Hungarian sailor.
City?

The Usual Suspects, San Diego
wrong city: next

Indeed.
Edit : Yes, wrong city, but hey, a quick google will help you out, so you may as well take it.

I knew it was either one or the other, but the harbor threw me off. SD has the Navy base.
Nah, I googled after posting - edits on this game are verboten.

My brother keeps trying to get me to see that movie...
