Minneapolis Movies

Let me guess—you’re white.

"Untamed Heart" with Christian Slater and Marisa Tomei.

R1 Let’s riot about this thread too.

Purple Rain

Purple Rain.

Fargo.

Are you forgetting where Prince did all his work?

Are you forgetting the movie on everyone's mind right now?

Are you forgetting the Datalounge Fave campfest?

Are you batting in Little League?

Are you not feeling shitshows?

Are you forgetting Jason Reitman's other movies?

Are you forgetting the late, great Rik Mayall?

Shirley you're not forgetting this disaster!

Maybe you just stopped giving a duck.

R13, don’t call me Shirley.

Too close to home, eldergays?

Diablo Cody knows her way around this town.

Of course corny DL queens don't know Kevin Smith.

One of Altman's last.

You haven't laughed until you've seen this underappreciated gem:

Are you forgetting more camp starring DL Fave James Marsden?

You bitches are slipping!

Much of "Ice Castles" was filmed there.

A terrible comedy from 1980 with Gary Busey and Cloris Leachman called "Foolin' Around"--the climax involves Busey crashing a wedding by flying a hangglider into the St. Paul Cathedral's gigantic Rose Window. The special effects are awesomely horrible and unconvincing.

"Dear White People" was filmed there, even though it is supposed to be set in an Ivy League college in New England (there are bizarrely jolting shots of St. Mary's Basilica, which is absolutely enormous, in Minneapolis in the background while two characters talk on a rooftop).

The Coen Brothers' "A Serious Man" was largely filmed in Bloomington, the largest suburb of the Twin Cities (where the Mall of America is). Several parts of "Fargo" also take place in the Cities (such as the scenes at Jerry Lundegaard's auto dealership, the kidnapping of his wife in the tony Western suburbs, and the lunch Marge has with her mentally disturbed classmate), although most of it takes place in the town of Brainerd upstate.

Although "Purple Rain" is supposed to take place in Minneapolis, much of it was actually shot in the Los Angeles area, particularly the outdoor scenes.

Lots of "Jingle All the Way" was also filmed there, especially in the suburbs.

OP is just fishing for a corny pun to start a new thread about the Minneapolis riots. He doesn't have knowledge or creativity of his own and he can't Google. So he's just looking to steal from other Dataloungers.

We've all seen this pattern before; OP stole a movie idea for a coronavirus thread once from me.

Countdown to a Minneapolis Riots thread starring one of these movies in 3, 2, 1 ...

None of the first Grumpy Old Men was actually filmed in Minneapolis proper. There are a few scenes filmed in St. Paul, but most of the movie was filmed out of the Twin Cities (as befitting its small town setting).

There are a few scenes in Grumpier Old Men (the sequel) filmed in Minneapolis, though.

Wow, that's sure an elaborate plot you're dreaming up in your head, r23.

Let's not forget TV series!

There's also North Country

Just because it’s filmed in Minnesota doesn’t mean it’s a Minneapolis movie, you wouldn’t post a movie filmed in Bakersfield in an LA movie thread...

No love for Fargo?
