This one is easy: Lathe of Heaven. Honorable mentions would be RoboCop and Logan's Run.

How about Silkwood? It was filmed at the Las Colinas Movie Studios.
Oh, and there was this made for tv movie with Bette Davis and Lisa Welchel and it was filmed in Rockwall...it was about flying and they filmed the tiny little airport where my dad kept his plane. That was really cool...back then!

Speaking of movies filmed in Dallas, why did they show Adventures in Baby Sitting taking place in Chicago while being filmed in Dallas?

Was any of it filmed in Dallas? IMDB says Chicago and Ontario. I don't really remember the look of the city in the film too well since I was pretty young the last time I saw it.

Nice reference to you in the article!


I still disagree about it being the best movie filmed in Dallas, though. I prefer both Robocop and Bottle Rocket.

It shows the Dallas Skyline through out the movie...minus the famous lit up ball building.
