The Italian Job, 2003
This remake of the 1969 film features many familiar places in Venice. Even in the very opening scenes, the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute is shown, as well as the Bridge of Sighs. Only the beginning of the movie, and the very end, are filmed in Venice. There are a variety of other filming locations in the movie.
A quick list of filming locations that I have visited in Venice from this movie:
* Basilica Santa Maria della Salute in Venice
* Bridge of Sighs in Venice
* St Mark's Square in Venice
* The Grand Canal, and many other canals in Venice
* Doge's Palace for a brief moment at the end
Basilica Santa Maria della Salute
The Basilica Santa Maria della Salute appears for a moment in the opening credits of the film.

Bridge of Sighs
The Bridge of Sighs, named because prisoners crossed it on their way to being locked up for the rest of their lives, and took one last look out the windows, appears for a moment in the opening credits of the movie.

St. Mark's Square in Venice
Donald Sutherland walks through St. Mark's Square as he's talking to his daughter at the beginning of the film, and is soon met by Mark Wahlberg. St. Mark's Square is probably the most famous place in Venice.
