ne to think of actually taking vacation at Miami Beach, Florida…..then sure the cinematic way to go is by old films and newer non-detective/mystery/crime story themes. That is, maybe one can understand the local offerings, the schools, the libraries, the networking possibilities, the real estate, by watching “Police Academy” or “Bad Santa” or “Wild ThiFor the many attractive reasons – visiting Miami Beach, Florida, are, for sure, the excuse now known as the must-attend Spring Break, or perhaps the roller-blading beach beauties, or maybe the perfect weather conditions. But more exciting reasons, transcending the traveler’s penchant for balmy bay winds and such, is in the reputation a place like Miami Beach, Florida has for featuring popular TV programs and series and hosting films which have a Miami Beach, Florida setting.

Remember the first long-standing show of the past - the Don Johnson and Phillip Michael Thomas original “Miami Vice” version, which highlighted the Miami Beach, Florida scenes, ocean- and landscapes, and even southern fashions of the seventies and eighties—the open necked t-shirt and sports coat and shoes without socks look that spread throughout the region as quick as Disco gold chains and polyester did. However in the same genre, three decades later, the even more influential Miami Beach, Florida show is CSI: MIAMI. The hang-dog heroic, the neo-Clint Eastwood with an intellect of David Caruso’s character leads the team into the Miami Beach, Florida luxury homes, onto the speedboats and yachts, and through the hippest of clubs of the famous party town. The details are captivating; the scenes are mesmeric.

That is, maybe one can understand the local offerings, the schools, the libraries, the networking possibilities, the real estate, by watching “Police Academy” or “Bad Santa” or “Wild Things.” Maybe one can get a sense of the aesthetics, the social climate, and the politics of Miami Beach, Florida in a movie such as the new “Miami Vice” or the older, more non-fictionalized “A Sculpture of Love and Anguish: The Miami Beach Holocaust Memorial.” Or, maybe one can be pleased about the straight up beaches and wind in the palms atmosphere in films like “Always Something Better;” “Black Sunday;” or “The Godfather” or “The Crew.”

Sure, it may be an odd, unusual way to go about looking for real estate in Miami Beach Florida or deciding on the ideal vacation hotel or venue.
