The Weather Man The Weather Man is a 2005 American comedy-drama film directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Nicolas Cage. The film follows the story of David Spritz (Cage), a local television weatherman in Chicago who is going through a mid-life crisis. In the film, people throw food—like McDonald's pies!—at David to ridicule him and illustrate their dissatisfaction with his job as a weatherman. Perhaps the food-throwing also symbolizes the public's own discontent with life in general? Welcome to One-Shot Wednesday! Think you’re a Chicago screen buff?

The Blues Brothers (1980) Today’s screenshot comes from a musical number in The Blues Brothers (1980). The gospel song “Let Us Go Back to the Old Landmark" or “The Old Landmark” is performed here by James Brown , and the Rev. James Cleveland Choir. The number was filmed at Pilgrim Baptist Church , 3235 E. 91st in Chicago. Shown periodically in this lively musical number (and above) is Chicago’s own “Queen of Funk,” Chaka Khan . Humorously, despite singing in a movie that celebrates the blues, Khan has said she dislikes the musical genre: “I try to stay away from love songs. I get sick of them. Especially bluesy ones, crying songs, whining about some lost lover—I hate shit like that, and I’ve always felt that way. I’ve never liked the blues.” Welcome to One-Shot Wednesday!

The Fugitive (1993) In The Fugitive , Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) escapes from U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) during Chicago's annual St. Patrick's Day parade, allowing him to continue his quest to find his wife’s killer. Today’s screenshot illustrates how The Fugitive ’s director, Andrew Davis, filmed this scene “documentary-style, grabbing what [he] could from the actual parade.” Pictured are parade participants from the Chicago Stockyards Kilty Band , reportedly Chicago's oldest bagpipe band, founded in 1921. More specifically, Davis captured most of the parade chase with hand-held and Steadicam cameras. Then, he edited the shots together to depict Kimble’s slipping away unnoticed. But one of the final shots in this scene—of Kimble escaping into the crowd as Gerard searches —occurs in the same frame. “That moment was without a cut," recalls Davis. "It was fantastic." You can watch the Chicago St. Patrick’s Day parade scene in full below and read more about it in this 2023 interview . Welcome to One-Shot Wednesday! Think you’re a Chicago screen buff?

Contagion Contagion is a 2011 thriller that follows the rapid spread of a deadly virus and the efforts of scientists, government officials, and the public to contain and understand the outbreak. Much of the movie was shot here in and around Chicago. Gwyneth Paltrow's character, seen below, dies early in Contagion due to the lethal spread of the virus. In today's #OneShotWed, her character's son watches said demise from the family kitchen. The house in which this scene was shot is located in the Chicago suburb of Glencoe. The family who owned the home stayed in a downtown Chicago hotel for 3 weeks (on the studio's bill, I assume) while set designers modified the furniture and wall paint to fit the story. All was reset after production of course. Welcome to One-Shot Wednesday! Think you’re a Chicago screen buff? On Wednesdays, we post one still from a movie or TV show filmed or set in the Windy City.

The Untouchables (1987) This establishing shot from the 1987 gangster movie The Untouchables showcases several historic Chicago buildings. For example, the Chicago Board of Trade Building , that Art Deco skyscraper with a clock in the center, is in the background. The Rookery Building , serving as the movie’s police headquarters, is at left with the Chicago Flag hanging from it. At this point in the narrative, Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) has just formed his team of “untouchables” to bring down Al Capone in Prohibition-era Chicago. If you squint, in the middle ground, you can see three of the "untouchables" crossing the recently rain-soaked street. But let’s return to the Chicago flag for a moment and discuss what it represents . On the Chicago flag, the two sky blue stripes represent Lake Michigan and the branches of the Chicago River. The three white stripes represent the N, W, and S sides of the city. The four red stars in the middle represent major events in Chicago’s history: establishment of Fort Dearborn , where Chicago now sits Great Chicago Fire of 1871 World’s Fair of 1893 World’s Fair of 1933 Since The Untouchables is set in 1930, the Chicago flags captured onscreen should only have 2 stars like this one . Next time you watch the movie, keep your eye out and see if you notice any inconsistencies with the Chicago flag! Welcome to One-Shot Wednesday! Think you’re a Chicago screen buff?

The U.S. and Soviet governments are on the verge of signing a nuclear disarmament treaty when a high-ranking U.S. General is assassinated. Gene Hackman’s character is blamed for the lack of security and, therefore, the general’s murder. As punishment, he is assigned to escort an Army sergeant (Tommy Lee Jones/Kevin Crowley) back to the U.S. for court martial. The Package 's opening was shot in Berlin, Germany. The rest was shot in and around Chicago. Locations here include Lake Forest Academy (as a German chalet), the Field Museum, the South Shore Country Club, Grant Park, O’Hare International Airport, and Chicago’s Union Station . This medium-long shot of Tommy Lee Jones takes place on the historic oak benches in Chicago’s Union Station . His character is disguised as an Anglican priest and has just received a suitcase containing a sniper’s rifle. As the story’s villain, he will not use this weapon for good. A native Texan, Jones fondly recalls his time shooting The Package in Chicago—and he even wears the clothing to prove it : “I, my wife, and my little boy love Chicago. It’s a fine city, an all-American city. A considerable amount of history has been written there. It’s windy and cold in the wintertime, but we don’t worry about that — it’s hot and dry in Texas in the summer.” (The Sacramento Bee , Sept 1989) Welcome to One-Shot Wednesday!
