Fellow SCREEN-L members, Thank you for your input on Movies dealing with the city of New Orleans. As a lifelong resident of the outskirts of the Crescent City, I have always been fascinated by popular film's connotative images of the area. Listed below is a preliminary list of New Orleans films. Credit goes to personal brainstorming, SCREEN-L members, and two fellow New Orleanians (John Defraites and Evan Mather). A Streetcar Named Desire J.F.K. Panic in the Streets The Pelican Brief The Client Undercover Blues The Big Easy Down by Law No Mercy Blaze Hard Target Point of No Return (Jim Jarmusch films) Zandalee Interview with the Vampire Cat People Blue Chips (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE A BOAT TO GET TO ALGIERS!!!!!!!!!) King Creole Live and Let Die Angel Heart Johnny Handsome Easy Rider Wild at Heart At first glance, why do I see recurring themes of "black magic," forbidden and perverse sexual activity, and political corruptness? Hmmm... Special thanks to Krin Gabbard and Barbara Bernstein for directing me to people who share my area of interest. I will get in touch with them soon. If you have any more suggestions, I am open to them. If anyone is interested in this area of study or have information about other "cities in film" studies, let me know as well. I will be glad to talk with you. Thanks for all your help.
