So you know I'm not from Boston but I share many of the same traits as y'all (Red Sox fan, bad attitude, teeny pecker, etc.). Anyway, which Boston-based movie is best of all time? Good Will Hunting? The Departed? Hard to beat, those.

There's also the Jeff Bridges/Tommy Lee Jones bomber flick Blown Away.
Outside Providence handles one angle of the burbs nicely. David Mamet's State and Main catches th other end of the burbs.
But for me, Boston on the screen will always be Cheers, and Stephen King in the crowd at Red Sox games.

The Spenser films and TV series. I've never been to Boston but I feel I could make my way around town based on knowledge picked up from those books and movies.

Departed and Mystic River are both pretty hard to beat.
I live in Boston 2 and a half years and I have to say the most over rated movie featuring Boston is Boondocks Saints.

Yeah Boondock Saints is over rated as a crime movie and revenge movie also and just reconfirms the idea that Irish Americans don't know anything about Ireland outside the stupid stereotypes. That movie is plastic paddy all the way along with Ed Burns and House of Pain.
