Much of The Dark Knight, the second part of Nolan's Batman trilogy, was filmed in Chicago. The former Brach’s candy factory on Chicago's West Side, which shut down in 2003, was used for the exterior of Gotham General Hospital, and it's the administration building that we see getting demolished for the sequence when the Joker blows it up.

Not to be confused with the popular filming location Johnie’s Broiler, Johnie's Coffee Shop in Los Angeles is also an example of the futuristic Googie style of architecture that dates back to the 1950s.
It was featured most prominently in Miracle Mile when Anthony Edwards takes a random phone call in the phone booth outside and learns about an upcoming nuclear war.
It's also where Tim Roth (Mr. Orange/Freddy) meets with his supervisor Holdaway in Reservoir Dogs after he gets on the inside with Joe's crew and where Walter and The Dude talk about the severed toe in The Big Lebowski.
Other movies where you can see the restaurant, which closed in 2000, are Volcano, American History X, City of Angels, Very Bad Things and probably many more.

In Reservoir Dogs, Freddy / Mr. Orange rehearses part of his drug story in front of L.A.'s Toluca Substation. The substation, and the Belmont Tunnel next to it, dates back to the 1920s, leftover from the Pacific Electric Railway line that ran from downtown Los Angeles to Westlake. You can find the tunnel (now sealed) and the substation (now cleared of the graffiti) behind the Belmont Station Apartments that were completed in 2008.
