The Ten Greatest Miami Movie Moments of All Time

​At times, it seems the outside world is totally fascinated with Miami. And why not? It's a city known for fun, sun, skin, great parties, and great drugs. And it all looks even more sexy and dangerous when projected onto the silver screen.

From the black-and-white era to modern-day computerized car crashes, directors have jumped at the chance to put the Magic City in the movies. Cinematically speaking, Miami is the perfect place to find your true love, make a new life, become a hero -- and it's definitely the best place for men to dress like ladies.

Yes, over the years, some truly great movies have been set in Magic City, and we've compiled some of our favorite scenes to make people who don't live here jealous.



10. Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay
In one of the greatest stoner flicks of all time, Harold (John Cho) and Kumar (Kal Penn) find themselves at the wrong end of the law in the worst way possible. Of course they escape and run away to Miami where they happen to walk into a bottomless party. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't carry that clip (gratuitous vagina), but the trailer does a nice job of highlighting the scene at 1:04.



9. There's Something About Mary
Of course the woman everybody loves lives in Miami, and of course Ted (Ben Stiller) has no problem moving. In this sunny montage, the couple spends time doing all the usual things young lovers do -- grocery shop, race go-karts, play dress up with the girl's retarded brother -- and they do it all in Miami.
