What A Minister Needs to Know

I am on my church's search committee for a new minister. After we narrow down our list of candidates to four or five, we are flying them out to San Francisco and interviewing them on separate weekends.
Part of the committee's job, of course, is to get them to fall in love with The City. To do this, we are collecting San Francisco items to remind them of their stay. It's a goodie bag of mementos -- it's not a bribe. Really.
One of the items we decided to include the gift bag is a DVD of a movie made in -- or featuring -- San Francisco.
We've gotten suggestions of Mrs. Doubtfire and Foul Play. Doubtfire sounds common to me. They may already own it, especially if they have children. Foul Play has an ominous tone, no?
Your suggestions of SF-based movies designed to woo someone to the city are appreciated!

And "The Game" with Michael Douglas.
And the original "Bullitt" with Steve McQueen which has a spectacular car chase through the streets of Russian Hill.
And "Dark Passage" with Bogart and Bacall.
Oh and Hitch's last movie was "Family Plot" which was also filmed here (his favorite US city was SF).

Except, I don't recall much San Francisco in it. East Bay mud flats, yes. Marin hills, yes. But, SF? The Daddy's group thinks SF is there. I guess I'll have to re-watch it just to check!
Thanks for the link, but even they didn't have The Times of Harvey Milk!

The Daddy's crowd came up with The Times of Harvey Milk as a must-have, too. I don't know how I missed thinking of it. Although I don't know if it meets the entertainment criteria.
Please keep tagging in.
