Reel Washington
Hollywood on the Potomac is star of this “Saturday night at the movies” tour. New York City may claim Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese; Los Angeles Walt Disney and Steven Spielberg. Washington, D.C.? Hey, we spawn U.S. presidents, not cinematic auteurs. But zoom in on our back lot. For decades film makers have descended upon America’s capital to capture its monumental vistas, historic neighborhoods, political players, a certain sinister stairway and a secret parking garage.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Exorcist, All the President’s Men, No Way Out, Broadcast News, Independence Day. You’ve seen the movies, now find out where—and how—they and others were filmed in D.C. We’ll utter the famous lines, reveal the famous gaffes (Where
is the Georgetown subway station?) and provide enough Washington film trivia to satisfy your favorite movie junkie. We’ll even manage Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Think celluloid Washington’s only talking heads on TV? “You can’t handle the truth.”
