Berlin in movies

This is not really a touristic question, but I am trying to find movies, recent movies where possible, that are set in Berlin and that actually show Berlin landmarks. One of the opening scenes of Mission: Impossible III is set in Berlin, though it was actually filed in Los Angeles. I do know that The Bourne Supremacy was set and actually filmed on location in Berlin. Many Berlin landmarks are shown in the movie such as the Fernsehturm and Weltzeituhr on Alexanderplatz, Potsdamer Platz, the Oberbaumbrücke and the Berliner Dom.



Does anyone know of any other movies that are set and were actually filmed in Berlin?



Thank you.

Try Wings of Desire - - the fabulous Wim Wenders 1987 movie set and filmed in Berlin, in black %26amp; white.

Run, Lola, Run is set in Berlin. It%26#39;s been a while since I%26#39;ve seen the movie so I can%26#39;t remember how many landmarks you actually see.

I think Good Bye Lenin! was filmed in Berlin.

The best Berlin movie of past few years is %26quot;Sommer vorm Balkon%26quot; (2005). It is set in Prenzlauer Berg (Helmholtzplatz), ...I really love this movie!

Beside of that one of the best movies of all time was set in Berlin: Fritz Lang%26#39;s %26quot;M%26quot; (1931). It doesn%26#39;t show many Berlin landmarks but some %26quot;Berliner Schnauze%26quot; at least.

Parts of Hitchcock%26#39;s %26quot;Torn Curtain%26quot; were set in Berlin. Unfortunately it wasn%26#39;t possible to shoot this film in eastern Berlin in the 60%26#39;s so it looks quite funny now. It is actually the worst Hitchcock movie with a ridiculous cold war plot.

No films, but a few video clips with Berlin scenes. At least you can watch them on spot.

A song about post war Germany (1945-89). Contains parts/remakes of famous documentary scenes, mostly Berlin ones.

Some contrast to the previous video, this time not Berlin in Winter, but Berlin%26#39;s waterfront in Summer.
