Default Favorite movies set in Boston, MA?

25 Best Movies Set in Boston | Stacker

I have been watched the Boston set The Equalizer with Denzel Washington as the star. Have seen it a number of times before but wanted to refresh my memory for the release of The Equalizer 3.

What is your favorite movie set in Boston? Still have not seen some of those listed above.

Would have to agree that The Departed is the best of these 25 films.

I did find Ted hilarious.

The Brinks Job

(also Black Irish but only because lots of it was filmed in my old neighborhood and my buddy's house was the family's home in the movie)

A south Boston guy , you know when people ask me where I’m from I say the south end and even some people from Boston mostly younger say oh, south Boston I have to tell them no the south end ,when I was growing up South Boston would have been like moving on up lol , when we did move up it was to the west end which was so bad they tore all the tenements down and built luxury apartments
