===Movies and filming===
Director [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]], a native of Northbrook, used the fictional town of "Shermer" as a setting for several of his films.<ref name="HughesBrekClub"/> David Kamp of ''[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]]'' said "Hughes's Shermer was partly Northbrook and partly a composite of all the [[North Shore (Chicago)|North Shore]]'s towns and neighborhoods—and, by extension, all the different milieus that existed in American suburbia" and that Shermer "was at once an Everytown for every teen and an explicit homage to Hughes's home turf, the North Shore suburbs above Chicago". Hughes and his family moved to Northbrook in 1962, and Hughes attended [[Glenbrook North High School]].<ref name="bardofyouth">{{cite news | first=David | last=Kamp | title= Sweet Bard of Youth | date=March 2010 | url =https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/features/2010/03/john-hughes-201003?printable=true&currentPage=5 | magazine =Vanity Fair | access-date = February 20, 2010 }}</ref>
