Celtic Soul and LH: Maybe Manoj Night Shyamalan's movies have to do only with the illusions of 21st century Philadelphia about itself. His three well-known films – "Signs", "The Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" – are all set in either Philly itself or the Philly area. Likewise his less-famous effort, "Wide Awake". He has yet to make a big-budget film that's set anywhere else!

By the way (for trivia buffs), speaking of Penn Valley, the setting of the ABC-TV soap opera "All My Children" is the fictitious Pine Valley which is a VERY thinly disguised Penn Valley.
