Dozens of movies have been filmed on Long Island, including such top-tier classics as Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” and Alfred Hitchcock’s “North by Northwest.” There have been some lesser-esteemed works, too, including “Crocodile Dundee II.” So which movies are on the bottom rung? We thought you’d never ask. Here’s a short list of Long Island’s more regrettable cinematic moments.

(2021)This comedy was shot almost entirely in Suffolk County, from the Stew Leonard’s in Farmingdale to a cul-de-sac in Greenlawn’s Harborfields Estates. Dean Winters (of the Allstate commercials) and Shawnee Smith play a couple about to welcome a baby during the holidays; Bruce Dern, Chris Elliott and Richard Thomas also appear. Alas, the film sank with barely a trace; one of the few outlets to review it was Common Sense Media, which called it “Annoyingly flawed, with flat jokes and a bargain-bin visual style.”

(2023) In this unsubtle adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s evocative novel, Ethan Hawke and Julia Roberts play white-collar Brooklynites who wait out the apocalypse in a fabulous Hamptons rental, only to discover that it belongs to — gasp! — a Black man (Mahershala Ali). The racial tension is mishandled (it simply vanishes) and the existential dread feels like posturing. Writer-director Sam Esmail filmed in Old Westbury, Lloyd Neck and the Riverhead area but still botched the local geography: At one point, Roberts stands somewhere on the East End, gazing sadly — and impossibly — at the Manhattan skyline.

 (2010)

Taking a role originally intended for Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie plays CIA agent Evelyn Salt, who gets caught in a frame-up and must go rogue to clear her name. Though released in 2010, “Salt” feels like a Cold War time capsule from the 1980s, complete with the usual nuclear-strike scenarios, an assassination plot and several vodka-swilling Russians. (One scene involving a boatful of thugs was filmed at the former Grumman plant in Bethpage.) 

 (2010) Darren Star’s series was a must-watch, and its first feature (2008) became a $418 million hit. Then came the abysmal sequel (filmed partly in Glen Cove’s Salutations mansion), which traded on stale jokes, creaky stereotypes (of gays, women, men, you name it) and a startlingly glib depiction of Muslim culture. The backlash was fierce: In a fairly representative review, the Evening Standard said it “could be the most stupid, the most racist, the most polluting and women-hating film of the year.”

 (2015)

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler play the Ellis siblings — Fey is the party-girl, Poehler the goody-goody — who decide to throw a party in their childhood home before it’s sold. That could have been comedy gold, but the two stars ad-lib so much that they sometimes switch characters. The family abode is played by a house in Dix Hills, possibly the movie's most consistent performance.

 (2017) Robert De Niro plays Jackie Burke, a once-famous insult comic reduced to gigging at Governor’s Comedy Cabaret in Hicksville (though the Levittown location stood in for it). “Why don’t you change your name to something more pleasant,” he says of the hamlet, “like Somalia?” (Cue crickets.) Despite an impressive cast that includes Edie Falco, Harvey Keitel, Patti LuPone, Charles Grodin, Leslie Mann and Danny DeVito, “The Comedian” is about as enjoyable as a hard whack to the funny bone.

THE WEEK OF (2017)

Adam Sandler shot his fourth Netflix feature in Glen Cove, Syosset and Hicksville with longtime friend Chris Rock. The former plays a humble contractor, the latter a wealthy heart surgeon, whose kids are getting hitched. If you were expecting personality clashes and class divides, you’ll be disappointed to discover that the two characters are old friends who just sit around and yak about stuff. Director Robert Smigel films them with all the panache of an uncle taking a family-reunion video.
