Just to satisfy my curiosity, what movies were set in SF (and ideally make good use of the SF location, though that's not a requirement)? Ones I've got so far:

The Hulk

The Dirty Harry stuff

Ticker

Metro (the Eddie Murphy job)

We found her, folks. We found the one who saw Mrs. Doubtfire.

You get the kindling, I'll get the matches.

Bullitt. Steve McQueen. The car chase.

When I went to SF for a friends wedding, my mom, wife, and I ended up with this really cool Taxi Driver who took us around to some Bullit locations for no charge. We three were talking about it, then he joined in too. Very cool.

Also, Big Trouble in Little China is set in SF, but doesn't really do too much for the area. But, walking thru Chinatown is so much fun after seeing this. I just keep thinking about secret tunnels underground there.

The Rock has some nice visuals of SF. Although, when we went to the Palace of Fine Arts (where Connery meets his daughter), it was closed. They said chunks of the ceiling were falling fown so they had to close it.

Nash Bridges had some good views of SF even though it was a TV show (and some of it was filmed in Oakland). Actually got to see Don Johnson filming a scene and driving the Barricuda near Union Square.

the god awful-predictable-as-hell Wedding Planner was set there. If only John Rodgers had written in a scene showing J Lo and Matt McConaughey clones burst into flame with their skin bubbling...

48 hrs was indeed in San Francisco, as was the sequel.

So was:

Innerspace
Sister Act
The Presidio
Romeo Must Die
So I Married An Axe Murderer
They Call Me MISTER Tibbs
Shoot to Kill
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Sneakers
Point Blank

and, of course, Kuffs.
