Movies that used Courthouse Square?

I can think of several but I am sure not all of them:

Back to the Future
The Swarm
Forrest Gump
Chicken Little

More??

Re: Movies that used Courthouse Square?

It's been used numbers of times. Keep in mind that things can be painted, built upon, added to and removed, making it hard to determine.

I just saw Bruce Almighty again, and I couldn't stop looking at the square, as well as the brownstone street. Anyone else have that? Before it was just the background, something unimportant surrounding the actors to signify that they were outside. Now, it's like looking at an actor who's since passed away.

Re: Movies that used Courthouse Square?

The courthouse was used in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode, as "Henery High School" in a flashback to when she first found out she was a slayer.

*Googling* Hmm, here's an interesting BBTF Wiki page on "Hill Valley." No new information on what was filmed there, but it lists all the surrounding shops and buildings from each time period that are seen in the movies.

The Courthouse Square was memorably used for the vacant town in the first-ever Twilight Zone episode, Where is Everybody.
