Captain America: The First Avenger
In recent years a number of Hollywood films have been filmed in Manchester, with the city historic [[Northern Quarter (Manchester)|Northern Quarter]] district used due to its pre-WW2 architecture. In 2010, the car chase scene in "[[Captain America: The First Avenger]]" was filmed on Dale Street in the Northern Quarter. Producers chose Manchester because of its resemblance to 1940s [[New York City]] with its high buildings dating from pre-WW2 and the site is a shortlisted UNESCO world heritage site. In 2004, the Northern Quarter district was also used for the filming of "[[Alfie (2004 film)|Alfie]]".
