I like the final scene in OCEANS ELEVEN, which was filmed outside Rahway Prison.

About 5 minutes of ZIZEK takes place in Jersey, so I vote for that.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

What about Copland?  Stallone is doing some top notch acting and is set in a town next to the GW bridge.

Come on, Jason

I gotta go with "The Wrestler". ACME stores, Jersey All Pro Wrestling... and if imdb is anything to go by, shot in Asbury Park, Clifton, Dover, Elizabeth, Garfield, Hasbrouck Heights, Rahway... and Philadelphia.
