An Interactive Map of Famous San Francisco Film Locations
Hellllooooo! There are definitely some famous San Francisco film locations in Mrs. Doubtfire
Seeing San Francisco on the silver screen is always a treat—whether it’s old school like Bullitt and Vertigo, something from the 1990s like The Game and Mrs. Doubtfire, or more modern takes like Always Be My Maybe and The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Obviously, there are a ton of famous San Francisco film locations.
With a city as eye-catching as San Francisco, half the fun of the movie is mentally locating where the actors are standing at any given moment. But what if you want to go a step further, and really get the exact coordinates?
Lucky for us, ABC7 news analyzed data collected by the San Francisco Film Commission—simply click through the map below to get to the interactive version, and then enjoy nerding out on San Francisco’s film side.

The most popular spots aren’t too surprising: Coit Tower, City Hall, Saints Peter and Paul Church, Fairmont Hotel, Grace Cathedral, Palace of Fine Arts, and the like. There’s also a handful of popular intersections, like Columbus & Broadway (offering a nice Transamerica Pyramid backdrop), Broadway & Powell, Waverly & Washington (Chinatown), and California & Grant.
And it looks like San Francisco will soon add a few more locations to the already exhaustive list. It was recently announced that a major Hollywood movie will soon film in San Francisco. The California Film Commission has released the names of 20 films that will qualify for state tax incentives and one of them, Thomas Crown Affair, will be filmed in SF!
