Based on the trend I'd guess Forrest Gump for Alabama, Rudy for Indiana? -- nm - Max Jul 7, 10:21 3
- further back for AL. B&W film based on a novel. -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:26 2
  - To Kill A Mockingbird. It's all they've got. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:27 1
    - yeppers! -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:33
What did they pick for NY and CA? Really hard choices. The Godfather, Goodfellas, The French Connection, Taxi Driver, Ghostbusters and on and on. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:17 2
- yea CA and NY really would just be people guessing. Vertigo and Do The Right Thing respectively. -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:19 1
  - Ahh. I'm okay with those choices. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:23
CT mystic pizza, right? PA philadelphia? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 7, 10:16 1
- Bob Roberts (starring me and Jack Black) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 10:31
No idea about Colorado. Pretty sure I know Florida but will let others guess. - Krusty Jul 7, 10:11 2
- spoils and also your astute thinking kind of applies to CO as well. -- (edited) - Jovian Jul 7, 10:13 1
  - Yup. I was thinking Moonlight but that seems too hoity toity for this list. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:14
Iowa has to be Field of Dreams -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:07 1
- yes! -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:08
AZ = Raising Arizona -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:05 1
- yes! -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:05
Illinois is Blues Brothers. Period. -- nm - David Jul 7, 10:00 13
- Colorado - The Shining? -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Jul 7, 10:13 2
  - Yes!! -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:15 1
    - Ahhh. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:17
- This. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:04
- it should be but its not. -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:04 8
  - Is this a snooty list, or is there some common sense? -- nm - David Jul 7, 10:04 7
    - definitely not a snooty list. More like a fan favorites lists. IE Illinois is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:05 6
      - Then Iowa is Field of Dreams. -- nm - David Jul 7, 10:07 5
        
        (and now I'm debating which I like better between Blues Brothers and FB.) -- nm - David Jul 7, 10:08 3
        
        Ha. And I just saw something the other day, that Blues Brothers destroyed more cars than almost any single movie ever. -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:10 2
        
        they filmed the wrecks from six different angles and used them all -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 11:45
        
        No big loss as those cars were shitboxes. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 10:27
        
        yep!! -- nm - Jovian Jul 7, 10:07
