Film in America is an excellent website that documents the filming locations of various movies and TV shows, broken down by state and title. Here’s their list of films and TV shows shot in Northern California and San Francisco neighborhoods.

Sometimes they take stills from films, identifying the location of the shots. They did this with a few of my favorite San Francisco films, including “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1978), “The Maltese Falcon” (1941), “Bullitt” (1968), “Dirty Harry” (1971), “Vertigo” (1958) and “The Conversation” (1974).
