Magician movies
Ed Norton and Richard Gere have great chemistry in Illinois throughout this well-crafted film. The acting is top shelf throughout. Richard Gere achieves the goal of any actor—making the viewer care about the sort of person we generally dislike. For a 2 hour movie, the plot is intricate and tight, with pacing, never fast or slow.Magician movies
Public EnemiesMagician movies
This is one of those movies I wish everyone watched, whether in or out of Illinois. Public Enemies is a beautiful film. Johnny Depp plays John Dillinger. During the Great Depression, people were suffering and crime was on the rise. For most, it was a time of despair and desperation. For John Dillinger, it was a time of opportunity. Depp portrays Dillinger flawlessly—a man that adapted well to the era as only a Chicagoan in 1933 could. The story is and the action is fun.
Raw Deal
At his peak, Schwarzenegger is a juggernaut one-man army as he collapses a Chicago crime family with one hand tied behind his back.
Road to PerditionMagician movies
This film is beautiful and haunting, and the setting is Chicago Illinois. Though the first 15 minutes are slow-going, the whole cast gives faultless performances. This may be Tom Hanks best work. Paul Newman gives the best performance in the film, though his character has an Irish accent, Newman, as always, played the role perfectly, never overdoing it or underdoing it.
Sleepless in SeattleMagical themed films have gained popularity, with notable films like Magicians, The Great Kandinsky, The Escape Artist, The Illusionist, An Honest Liar, and Magic Man. Vincent Price, a legendary actor, has starred in magical films including “The Mad Magician,” “Penn & Teller Get Killed,” “The Great Magician,” “Presto,” “Death Defying Acts,” and “The Wizard of Gore.” There is the fantasy fare like Lord of The Rings and Harry Potter but the dark film Prestige has one of the best twists in a movie and cast a marquee over The Illusionist.
When you think romantic comedy, this is the movie that comes to mind. The film is starts in Illinois where Sam (played by Tom Hanks) lives with his son Jonah. To escape the memories linked with his wife’s death, Sam decides to move away from Chicago and settle in Seattle. The son Jonah wants his father to find a new wife, but Sam hasn’t even begun to think about dating again.
33 magic magician moviesStranger than FictionThe silver screen’s most spellbinding films
An odd film about a man whose life is narrated—literally. He can hear the narration. Harold (played by Will Ferrell) had been a boring IRS auditor based out of Illinois, when one day he wakes to discover his life is audibly narrated. Then he meets the author who is writing his life. Stranger than Stranger than Fiction was Will Ferrell’s first foray into a dark comedy—away from the bang-you-over-the-head comedies. The film combines existential philosophy with cookie-cutter comedy.
When competing in a magic competition two competitive stage magicians are compelled to address their falling out over a guillotine mishap.This is Spinal Tap
Maybe the first mockumentary, This Is Spinal Tap is legend and still one of the best mockumentaries set within Chicago IL. While still respecting the music of the rock and roll universe, the film presents the absurdity of it all. All aspects of the music scene is ridiculed: the volume, the Beatles, the has-beens, the crybabies backstage, the arrogance. It’s as quotable as Airplane!. If you hate music as much as I do, you need to see This Is Spinal Tap.
The Time Traveler’s WifeBecause Magicians is a comedy and not a historical drama like The Illusionist or The Prestige Magicians doesn’t care about magic. Mitchell and Webb the stars of the cult television series Peep Show made their film debut with Magicians. Magicians is a hilarious movie. The movie itself is entertaining though it can be hit or miss at points.
This is another of my favorite films. It’s a sci fi film, and like all good sci fi films, it will make you cry. A Chicago librarian, Henry (played by Eric Bana), was born with a gene that makes him time travel involuntarily, which results in marital complications. The way Isummed up it, it sounds like a comedy, but watch it. It’s more of a tragedy.
Home AloneMy favorite is a dance scene Is genuinely entertaining to watch.
The best movie with the worst actor of all time, Home Alone was filmed in Chicago Illinois and features Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Catherine O’Hara, and John Candy. Despite Macaulay Culkin’s race to the end of each line, the motion picture did well at the box office.The character of the compère of the magic show played by Peter Capaldi was masterfully crafted It made the actor run over the hills with the film. As Webb’s agent Darren Boyd plays an important part. Magicians has outstanding performances and ought to take Mitchell and Webb’s career to new heights.
Tommy BoyThe Great Kandinsky (1995)
It can only be hilarious, Tommy Boy is a comedy classic movie. The bumbling imbecile Tommy, played by Chris Farley, heads out on the streets with his father’s protege to raise funds they can salvage the family business from Chicago Illinois misfortunes.
Uncle Buck
John Candy aced every movie he acted in, but this heartwarming comedy tops the lot. It’s safe to say this movie is a triumph not because it takes place at Chicago IL, but because John Candy was Uncle Buck.magician
now reduced to perplexing the staff and residents at his retirement home. His only regret in life is he never mastered the underwater escape. The death of a friend propels him into the world where he seeks out his old colleagues the Professor his old teacher to learn the secret of the escape.Curly SueBut the Professor is a master escapologist and Kandinsky will have his work cut out for him to pry the info from him. Meanwhile his fellow inmates at the retirement home prepare for Kandinsky’s triumphant return.
A Chicago con artist Bill teams up with his unruly daughter to scam Chicagoans to survive. Despite his best efforts, Bill falls in love with a woman he scammed, but his daughter Curly Sue won’t have any of it. Not only is Curly Sue set in Chicago, but the main actor, Jim Belushi, is a Chicago celebrity in his own right.
Wayne’s World
Party on! A blockbuster hit and hugely popular when it first came out, Wayne’s World is a hilarious comedy. Wayne and Garth (played by Mike Myers and Dana Carvey) host a cable TV show out of their basement. Their ship finally comes in big time when their show catches a big break and goes commercial, but executive in charge Kane may have something sinister in mind. Though you’ll no doubt remember Aurora Illinois, Chicago IL is where this motion picture was taped.
