Movies shot in Michigan: suggestions

I am driving a group of 15/16 year old girls to Michigan this summer to celebrate my daughter%26#39;s 16th birthday. I thought that while we drive across the country, it might be fun for them to watch movies shot in the places they will be visiting.

We will be spending time in Ann Arbor, East Lansing, the Northwestern part of the lower peninsula and Mackinac Island (Somewhere in Time is a given!). Any other age appropriate suggestions? Thanks, Moms

Here is the link to the Michigan film office with movie titles. I just don%26#39;t know which ones would be interesting and/or appropriate for teen girls. Moms

I don%26#39;t know how good it is, but the first movie filmed on the Mackinac Island was This Time for Keeps with Esther Williams, Jimmy Durante, and Lauritz Melchior.

It sounds like you want to show the movies as you drive across country? Correct?

I doubt This Time for Keeps is on DVD.

The Beverly Hills Cop movies are good (especially the first). Die Hard 2 was filmed in Alpena but it is the least desirable of the Die Hard franchise. But still it is Michigan-made %26amp; NW Michigan at that.

8-mile in Detroit though maybe not age appropriate and IMO not a really good movie.

I really liked Gran Torino.

They might get a laugh out of how dated Where the Boys Are.

Detroit Rock City (Group of guys pilgrimage to see KISS in concert @ Cobo)

Good luck

Part of Transformers was shot a Michigan Central Station in downtown Detroit.

Roger %26amp; Me is in Flint

Super Sucker with Jeff Daniels was shot in Jackson. It was not a huge hit but it is pretty funny.

Escanaba in the Moonlight is very funny. Michigan%26#39;s Jeff Daniels is in it, and is about ';Deer Camp';. To my knowledge no animals were harmed. One potato, two potato lol (you need an open mind)

While very seldom getting credit ';The Road to Perdition'; had many scenes shot in Saugatuck/Perdition. You will immediately recognize the Lake Michigan shoreline at the end of the movie. Here%26#39;s a Trib article that mentions it.
