The Ten Best Rooftop Movie Scenes!

Some of these have a lot of violence or foul language. If you’re an adult and you’ve ever seen an R-rated movie, you’ll be fine.
Sometimes we try to guess what kind of roof a roof in a movie is (or is supposed to be). We’re still having a hard time with the CGI roof in The Matrix; it looks a lot like a rooftop plaza deck with improbably oversized sand-colored pavers, but they don’t give you a lot of clues about what’s supposed to be underneath them. Looks like they slacked off when it came to the roofs in that particular movie.
You know, they have film technical consultants for military stuff in Hollywood, why not movie roof consultants? Please contact Roof Online if you’d like to hire us for that!
