Moving is never a breezy project, but learning a little more about your relocation destination can help ease those moving jitters. If you\u2019re considering moving to Chicago<\/a>, there are a lot of good things waiting for you. It\u2019s one of the biggest cities in the country, with plenty of job opportunities and all the perks of a big city. Moving from another big city might spell good news for you cost wise \u2013 if you\u2019re moving here from LA, you might discover that Chicago has a lower cost of living<\/a> than the City of Angels. This makes moving here definitely attractive. However, make sure to thoroughly plan your move and to include self storage<\/a>, too \u2013 to help you better manage your belongings until you settle into your new home. Send them ahead of your relocation so moving day can run smoothly. For reference, renting a Chicago storage unit<\/a> costs around $125\/month.<\/p>\n

Beyond finding a home, cost of living and other essential issues that anchor your living situation, you should also get to know Chicago from another perspective. The city gave us plenty of memorable moments on the screen. Why not take a walk down memory lane to spot some memorable movies that feature the Windy City?<\/p>\n

Without further ado, here are some prominent films and TV shows that were shot in Chicago:<\/p>\n

<\/span>1. The Blues Brothers – 1980<\/span><\/h2>\n

“The Blues Brothers” is a 1980 SNL-inspired movie chock full of the deadpan comedy of performers like Aykroyd, Belushi and Murray, of which the first two are the main protagonists. Their \u201cmission from God\u201d leads them through an absolutely ridiculous chain of events.<\/p>\n

You get to see quite a bit of Chicago in this movie, with the Joliet Correctional Center in Joliet, IL, and Wauconda, IL, where a car crash occurs in the movie. Chicago\u2019s City Hall is also featured in the movie. When “Blues Brothers” was filmed, Chicago wasn\u2019t a movie-making location<\/a>, but the film created the right context for Windy City to become just that.<\/p>\n

<\/span>2. Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off – 1985<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another movie set in Chicago, “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” focuses on what a bunch of teenagers do when they skip school, with Ferris as the main character accompanied by Cameron and Sloane, this 1980s film is definitely a must-see. Most memorable moments take place at various Chicago landmarks. It offers not only a tour of the most famous Chicago landmarks, such as the Willis Tower (or Sears Tower as it was called back then), but also shows you a slice of the suburban life of Chicago.<\/p>\n

The Art Institute of Chicago is also featured, as the camera follows Cameron looking at the \u201cA Sunday on La Grande Jatte\u201d painting on display at the Chicago Museum. Wrigley Field pops up, too, with the three teenagers enjoying a Cubs game.<\/p>\n

<\/span>3. My Best Friend\u2019s Wedding (1997)<\/span><\/h2>\n

This iconic rom-com featuring Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney and Cameron Diaz follows the story of a woman who made a pact to marry her best friend if neither of them find someone. As it turns out, he is marrying another woman, which makes her jealous. She proceeds to interfere, trying to prevent the wedding from taking place.<\/p>\n

Juliane Potter, Julia Roberts\u2019 character, gets a full tour of Chicago in this movie, as Comiskey Park, Union Station and the Fourth Presbyterian Church on the Magnificent Mile are featured in the movie. You could probably even make a tourist trip of all the Windy City spots that show up in the movie.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the opening scene in “The Dark Knight” takes place inside The Old Post Office in Chicago, located at 404 West Harrison Street.
