Only after wondering when Toronto would be glorified in film, did I realize how wonderfully Toronto has been captured in the comic book. This image is from Maurice Vellekoop's 1997 book, "Vellevision".

2. Film update since the "celluloid" post: Toronto plays Toronto for the last 30 minutes of “The Sentinel” with Michael Douglas and Keifer Sutherland (after posing as Washington for much of the previous 90 minutes). There’s an establishing shot of the skyline from the islands - an idylic tourist shot - which was accompanied by ominous music. I almost laughed out loud - Toronto’s just not that menacing.

3. Toronto, not menacing? That would depend on your point of view.
