The Us is full of iconic filming locations … ideal for a road trip. From Alaska to Texas here are 10 of our favourite movie sights
Chicago
The Lake House (2006)
So many Chicago hotspots were showcased in this movie – the Picasso sculpture in Daley Plaza, Michigan Avenue, Grant Park, the bridges over the Chicago river. One scene takes Kate (Sandra Bullock) on a walking tour, past stunning examples of local architecture. Christopher Plummer, who plays Alex's (Keanu Reeves) architect father, has one of my favourite lines. He says the most important quality in architecture is "always the light. Always." Take an architecture tour for your own light-filled experience.
• Also filmed in the area: Sixteen Candles, The Untouchables, Source Code, Couples Retreat, The Break-Up
Seattle
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)
The scenes in this movie that were filmed in Belltown, Pioneer Square and the Roosevelt Hotel all pull you into this great Pacific Northwest city.

The Bp oil disaster in the Gulf gets more depressing by the day. Bp's latest attempt to slow the spill with a containment dome isn't going so well, Florida officials tell us that oil could reach state beaches by Thursday, and at least one energy investment firm isn't counting out the possibility that the well could keep on leaking until Christmas--or for the next decade. Even nuking the spill isn't out of the question, according to Ng Oil and Gas (method pictured above). Things have gotten so desperate that Avatar director James Cameron is now consulting with U.S. officials on possible solutions to the spill. Can FastCompany.com readers do better? We've received a number of creative ideas in recent days. Below, some of our favorites.
