aup with movies
A list of movies I especially like, organized according to where they take place (San Francisco, New York City, London,
Kansas, Washington DC, Buffalo and other places as I add them) and linked to IMdB descriptions. I'm open to suggestions
of movies to include but (necessary disclaimer of course) the choice is always mine. Ah, the heady power of ownership.

Lovely photo of San Francisco taken by John Weidner and displayed atop his blog, Random Jottings.
