the very beginning of "A Christmas Story" shows public square in downtown Cleveland with Terminal Tower and Higbee's

The start of "Wild Hoggs" is based in Cincinnati (though in one shot that's supposed to be of a downtown Cincinnati building they actually show the BP building in Cleveland)

"Guarding Tess" is based in Ohio

Dont know the name of it, but the movie where a group of kids all lock their parents up in the basement. A young Jennifer Love Hewitt is in it along with, Jamie Lee Curtis. Movie was based on being in Defiance, Ohio.

Also in Super Troopers, when Ramathorne and Farva are in the fast food joint, Ramathorne asks Farva what he would do if he won the million dollar prize at the place and said he couldnt buy the Cleveland Cavs with it.

Defiance, Ohio was also the site of the facts based account of that Woman who won all those contest by filling out entry forms and doing puzzles and writing jingles for new products. Can't think of the name of it now.
