Movies set in New Orleans

Can anyone give some suggestions for movies on DVD that show New Orleans architecture?

'Blood of the Zombie" was filmed in 1959-era N.O., but don't get it because shriek show botched the transfer.

A good portion of JFK (the Oliver Stone movie) is set in New Orleans, where Jim Garrison was District Attorney.

Re PRETTY BABY: the "house" was set in an actual hotel that is still there out on St. Charles somewhere near the Garden District.

I lived in New Orleans for 8 years (this place is my second hometown), 2 months ago, I moved to my home country, Korea, permanently. I already miss great spicy cajun food over there, the night life of French quarter, and the Jazz music in every corner of the French quarter, especially Preservation Hall Jazz.

Some I know :

Cat People
Pelican Brief
A street car named desire
Double Jeorpardy
JFK
Interview with Vampire

It was filmed in Memphis. The story was also based in that city.
