The only movie that I could come up with for Delaware that I had seen is AMERICAN SPLENDOR and I got that reference from this list: http://www.listology.com/list/film-or-two-every-state.

You could argue HOOSIERS for Indiana, but BREAKING AWAY is a fabulous movie.

Great list, Scott. The lexicon of movies your able to weild at your disposal tells me you know your way arround a DVD store...

Being IN Washington I would rather be represented by "Sleepless in Seatte." (Okay so some it's in Baltimore, some in New York, lots ot this movie takes place in Washingon AND even highlights local hot spots: Lake Union, the Puget Sound, Pike Place Market) Even "Harry and the Hendersons" reperesents better that "Twin Peaks" movie.

Maybe "Dontes Peak" for Colorado.

"No Country for Old Men" for Texas. C'mon, dude you shoot-out here!

2 cents in. E.C. out!

Fun list. As an old Arkansas boy, I'm gonna nominate "True Grit" and "Sling Blade" for the home state. For Texas, "Giant" or "The Last Picture Show" come to mind as being worthy. I wish I could nominate "A Soldier's Story" for Arkansas, but it was set in Louisiana, although filmed entirely in Arkansas. Again, love the list. (And yeah, I gotta go with "Hoosiers" for Indiana.)

American Splendor is set in Ohio, I thought.

Fight Club, however, is set in Delaware (and represents Delaware's infamous low corporate taxes resulting in 6 financial institutions within a block of each other).

when i think of minnesota, i think Fargo. it's one of my favorite movies and it's one of my favorite states.

Since I'm from Maine/New England I'll make a few suggestions.

I think "On Golden Pond" was mentioned. Though filmed in NH it takes place in Maine.

One can't forget "Empire Falls". Filmed in Waterville, the film really captures milltown life, except Helen Hunt's atrocious accent.

Many Stephen King stories and films are set in Maine. "It", "Stand by Me", "Pet Semetary", and "Storm of the Century" just to name a few.

Thinking of Mass there's "Perfect Storm" about fishing and "Session 9" about Danvers Mental Asylum.

Vermont has "White Christmas"

Being from Massachusetts, I think a couple of the more notable films from recent years would have to be The Departed and Good Will Hunting. Some others to note, A Beautiful Mind, Blown Away, Mystic River and of course, Jaws...

heh, just remembered...SLC Punk works for Utah, no?

RE: AMERICAN SPLENDOR -- Harvey Pekar was from Ohio, but his girlfriend Joyce Babner is from Delaware and I thought there were some scenes set there. My memory may be failing. It's a BIG stretch in any case.

Sorry for the double post.

Not that it's a Delaware movie but Wayne's World does have that scene where Wayne can't think of anything to say about Delaware as they are "visiting" different states on his show.

For New Hampshire how about Live Free or Die - hey, it's the state motto, after all.

As a Jersey girl I would definitely add Garden State and Goodfellas to the NJ list or for laughs Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle.

For PA what about Philadelphia?

For Jersey you've got to have some Kevin Smith movies.

Mass needs Gone Baby Gone and Boondock Saints
Tom at 2009-06-01 14:13:10:
For Nevada, there are quite a few:
Ocean's 11, 12 and 13; 21; Dodge Ball; and as of this last weekend, The Hangover. The list goes on and on, too. Being close to LA and having low tax rates helps.

E.C.- Add War Games to your list. The first half of the film is shot in Seattle, parts of Tacoma, at the Steilacoom Ferry dock and on McNeil Island.

There's that Adam Sandler movie, Mr. Deeds. The protagonist, Longfellow Deeds is from New Hampshire, and the state's small town culture figures prominently in who he is.
naomi at 2009-06-08 19:12:50:
For Oregon, do any of these count?:

Kindergarten Cop
Body of Evidence
Goonies
Free Willy
Bandits

Whiteman AFB is actually in Missouri where the B2's fly out of. For Missouri how about Winter's Bone? And for Kansas... In Cold Blood or Superman?
