[Ptah]

2. Arizona

Edit to add, "A river Runs Through It" for my birth state, Montana

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_River_Runs_Through_It_%28film%29

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Tequila Sunrise/California!

Betcha never heard of that one!

:bounce: :bounce:

[XemaSab]

4. Jefferson

Stand by Me :woot:

[TimeChaser]

5. Night of the Living Dead - Pennsylvania

And all of the other ones. The mall from Dawn of the Dead is 45 minutes from my house.

[China_cat]

108. The original NOTLD not just PA but my hometown.

Starts out in the cemetery where the family plot is.

A lot of the zombies are relatives.

[fizzgig]

6. cannibal: the musical

colorado

[fishwax]

7. I've never seen that movie, but I've always been interested in Alferd Packer

I was going to say Red Dawn for Colorado :rofl:

[fizzgig]

9. rent it! now!

that movie is friggin hilarious

i've never heard of red dawn...what's it about?

[fishwax]

15. i'll definitely do that ...

Red Dawn is a World War III movie that came out in 1984, about the invasion of the United States by the Soviet Union. A group of brave high schoolers in Calumet Colorado, including Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Charlie Sheen (and a few others whose careers haven't aged quite as well--hehe) band together to engage in resistance to the occupying army. They call themselves the wolverines (and adopt the rallying cry: "WOLVERINES!!!"). It's cheezy, right-wing propaganda, but it's also campy, pop-culture/cult movie fun :)

[fishwax]

8. Brokeback Mountain and the Blues Brothers

in Wyoming, the state where I (mostly) grew up and in Illinois, where I live now ...

[philosophie_en_rose]

10. 10 Things I Hate About You/ Washington

[bridgit]

11. Chinatown/California...

[Bennyboy]

12. Paint Your Wagon!

Set and filmed in nevada City CA. I saw them do some filming and go to the area all the time.

[conscious evolution]

148. One of my favorite movies.

A showcase for two of musics greatest voices.

[SCDem]

13. Patriot - Prince of Tides, Water is Wide, Guess the state

South Carolina

And there was a movie filmed just outside my house a couple weeks ago - not sure what the title is going to be but it stars Danny Glover and Julia Stiles

[krispos42]

19. Might be "The Bell Jar" remake

According to Wikipedia, Julia Stiles is starring in the remake. Maybe Glover is one of her thearapists.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Jar#Film_adaptations

Or it could be "No FEAR", a movie that Glover is suppose to be making about the EPA firing a whistleblower.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Glover#Career

[opiate69]

14. Beetlejuice, The Ref (Connecticut)

But now my home is in Washington, so:

Texas Chainsaw Massacre
every other western made

[jgraz]

20. heh, I think most westerns were filmed in California

[krispos42]

18. "Fargo", "North Country"...

I would presume "A Prarie Home Companion" as well.

When I lived in South Dakota, it would have been "Dances with Wolves".

In Connecticut, "Beetlejuice" was upstate someplace, and "The Ice Storm" was set in New Canaan.

[AmericanErrorist]

25. Parts of Fargo

Otherwise what's the point in a title?

[krispos42]

[alittlelark]

21. Easy Rider/New Mexico.

[Omphaloskepsis]

22. "Stand By Me" and "The Goonies" / Oregon

[MysticalChicken]

81. Oh man

I saw Stand By Me when I was eight years old. I was in Boston with my parents, visiting my great-grandmother, and my parents were watching it in our hotel room. They thought I was asleep. Even at that age, I liked it, but I've only seen it that one time. The only part I can remember is that one kid on the train tracks.

EDIT: Another Oregon movie: Free Willy. Keiko, the whale, lived in the Oregon Coast Aquarium for a while, and I saw him once. It's too bad he died.

[XemaSab]

124. The part with the train trestle: Shasta County, california

:P

29. Two.......kind of

Do you mean set in the state or actually filmed in the state?
I have two that were actually filmed here partially anyways.
Terms of Endearment.....and the monstrosity that was To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.....

I wonder how many replies a worst titled movie thread would get, that would be one of my entries, but since I'm just a lurker, I'll let some lounge regular post that one if they wish to.

It was set in my hometown of Lumberton but it was filmed a couple of hours away in Wilmington.

I didn't see it until the DVD came out, and didn't know beforehand where the principle location photography had been done.

All at once, midway through the movie... i realized that i knew EXACTLY where they were, because it was my favorite part of my favorite park.

Now i watch it occasionally, when i'm feeling homesick for the "Queen City".

[riverdale]

145. I was supposed to be an extra in that movie

They called me two times, but I had to work and couldn't do it.
The Double Door was made into a ski lodge and the food scenes were filmed at Fuel Pizza.

[Downtown Hound]

48. Quite a few have been filmed in or near my hometown

Alfred Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt and The Birds

Scream (was going to be filmed at my high school until the city council stepped in and said no, they didn't to be associated with a horror movie. Wes Craven left a little love letter towards them in the credits, saying no thanks whatsoever to the Santa Rosa City School Board)

Peggy Sue Got Married (was in fact filmed at my high school. Filmmakers like Santa Rosa High because it's old and has gargoyles on it and stuff. Makes it look very gothic)

Smooth Talk. A relatively unknown, early Laura Dern movie.

And in Humboldt County, where I recently lived:

The Majestick
Salem's Lot (the original)
Outbreak
The Lost World
Return of the Jedi (the forest moon of Endor scenes)

Other than those, too many have been filmed in California to count.

[SoxFan]

49. On Golden Pond, Jumanji

"On Golden Pond" was filmed in and around Holderness, next to Squam Lake

The outdoor scenes in "Jumanji" were shot mainly in Keene.

157. The Blob (the Steve McQueen one)

IIRC it took place in Phoenixville, or at least it was filmed there.

I used to know a guy who grew up there and who claimed that his doctor's office was used for the scene in which that first old guy was digested. I never tried to verify that, perhaps because it's a better story if I don't know for sure!
