The Truman Show was filmed in Seaside, Florida and it was a great setting for the film.

 

In Manhunter, directed by someone we know, Will Graham had a home on the beach in Captiva and it looked gorgeous

 

Parenthood (1989) is a good film and I believe was in Gainesville

 

Some other movies - Donnie Brasco, Cocoon, License To Kill

Did anyone mention "Band of the Hand"? I haven't seen it since the 80's and remember very little of it, but seem to remember it having a loose Vice connection, perhaps with the producer or director. If memory serves correct, it was set in the Everglades and Miami. I don't remember if it was any good.

Night Moves -- a lot of it takes place in the Keys, but I don't know if any of it was filmed in Florida.  A very young Melanie Griffith appears in this 1975 noir film.

 

Scarface of course is set in Miami, but the majority of it was filmed in LA.

"A Hole in the Head" - Frank Sinatra.     Lots of Miami scenes & a funny & satisfying story.

 

Also "Tony Rome" - Sinatra is a P.I. living on a house boat in Miami.

Living on a boat, hey? Now I know where the inspiration for Crockett came from.

It's possible but remember there must be at least a thousand people that live on boats in the S. Fla area in places like Dinner Key, Miami Beach Marina etc etc.  It's not a really rare or unknown lifestyle.
