This is simply a list of the movies listed in Wikipedia as having been set in Philadelphia, which necessarily includes many films not shot there (e.g., The Philadelphia Story) and doesn't include many films shot there but set elsewhere e.g., Limitless). These are ranked according to their "favoritestness," my quasigrammatical term of art for the number of IMDb high ratings (8+) for a film, adjusted by the overall viewership of other movies from the same half-decade. By this metric, older movies generally do better than new stuff, and mediocre but massive hits (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen) may well do better than little-seen gems (1776). This dataset includes only opening-day numbers for Creed; I expect it to fly up the list in time.
