Because Dallas Has Always Been New Detroit

• I have one thing to say to ANYONE who does not think that <i>RoboCop</i> is the best movie ever shot in Dallas: BITCHES LEAVE

• Greatest movie ever filmed in Dallas was Paramedics.

• "Looking for me?" "I'd buy that for a dollar!" Thank you, Robocop

• Boy's Don't Cry, mostly filmed up in Greenville, but the scene outside the skating rink was filmed at Gus Thomasson and Moon Dr. near the Mesquite/Dallas border. Maybe not the "best" Dallas movie, but this thread seemed to morph into a running list...

• And the awards go to: True Stories for the music State Fair for the history Mars needs Women for the kitsch Robocop for overacting Bottlerocket for sleep Logans Run for no bras Born on 4th for Drama Debbie does Dallas for... Debbies

• What about the greatness of Problem Child? (Mesquite/Dallas)

• Mars Needs Women. 1968 Dallas/Richardson. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Needs_Women">Wikipedia</a>

• Nothing gets past you Robert.

• Sorry, but Cotton Candy is still the all time greatest movie ever filmed in Dallas. Seems like every time i woke up in the middle of the night when i was a kid, i could find it playing. And now we have <a href="http://tinyurl.com/dyfp8u">youtube</a>, so we can watch it whenever we want.

• Ah, but, Anon, <em>Debbie Does Dallas</em> wasn't filmed here. Which I don't think was the point of your post.

• Debbie Does Dallas!! Soon it will be Leppert Does Dallas because he's fucking us over.

• State Fair! Look closely at the Carousel scene - those kids are from Lakewood Elementary. Now they are senior citizens.

• Bottle Rocket!

• IMHO, the best DFW location filming would have to be <i>True Stories</i>... http://tinyurl.com/c2meaw

• This <em>Robocop</em> shot would make a good computer desktop image for any Dallas office worker: http://tinyurl.com/c5vvwd

• I beg to differ! The best movie made in DFW (and using its monuments) is clearly Logan's Run.

• DMN ran an interview many years ago with the director of Robocop, talking about why he chose Dallas and how he used it. Modesty forbids me to mention who wrote the piece.

• Dude, you're Freaking me out. I watched that movie yesterday on Hulu.
