Los Angeles’ Bradbury Building in Blade Runner. Gateshead’s Trinity Square car park in Get Carter. That creepy modernist house in Exhibition. Architecture in film can play a significant role, from establishing a time period to powerfully evoking an atmosphere or even shaping the narrative.

We asked you for your favourite examples of urban architecture in film, and you shared silver screen buildings from Paris to Kuala Lumpur (via New York, of course, the home to so many famous movies – and so much famous architecture).
