- The "Chicken Salad on Toast" scene in the Jack Nicholson movie Five Easy Pieces was filmed at the Denny's restaurant at the southern I-5 freeway interchange (Glenwood exit). Nicholson directed the movie Drive, He Said, in Eugene.
- Two track and field movies were filmed in Eugene, Personal Best and Without Limits. Kenny Moore, Eugene-trained Olympic runner and co-star in Personal Best, co-wrote the screenplay for Without Limits. Moore also wrote a biography of Bill Bowerman, played in the movie by Donald Sutherland.
- Getting Straight, starring Elliott Gould and Candice Bergen, was filmed at Lane Community College in 1969. As the campus was still under construction at the time, the "occupation scenes" were easier to shoot.[42]
- How to Beat the High Co$t of Living, starring Jane Curtin, Jessica Lange and Susan St. James, was filmed in Eugene in the fall of 1979. Locations included VRC, Skinner Butte, the Willamette River and River Road Hardware. The film, released in the summer of 1980, bombed at the box office.
- Zerophilia was filmed in Eugene in 2006.
- Stealing Time, a 2003 independent film, was partially filmed in Eugene. When the film premiered in June 2001 at the Seattle International Film Festival, it was titled Rennie's Landing after a popular bar on the University of Oregon campus. The title was changed for its DVD release. The opening credits were filmed on the UO campus, and the facade of Rennie's is used when the characters enter the bar.[citation needed] Although the script uses the bar's name in the film, the interior shots of the bar were filmed at another location.[citation needed]
