    Yeah.... I suppose Philadelphia and, admittedly, Rocky, are Philadelphia... but.. I don't know why any of the rest would be called "quintessential" other than being filmed in Philly. ...It's great they were filmed in Philly, but, from my recollection, they don't have much of anything to do with the city.
