I thought Wayne's World took place in Illinois or Wisconsin. What the heck does it have to do with Delaware?? You know we had other much more memorable movies that were a part of Delaware. Why not "Fight Club"? Or "Dead Poet's Society"? How about "Beloved"? Heck I would have been happy with "Survival of the Dead" - at least there was a fictional island off the coast of Delaware free of Zombies!

:grr:

1. "Southern Comfort" for Louisiana?

Um, "A Streetcar Named Desire", "Steel Magnolias", hell, even "The Big Easy"!

And "Fast Times" only represents SoCal. There are about three brazillion movies set in SF alone.

[LynneSin]

4. I just read the storyline of "Southern Comfort" - sounds like "Deliverance" in the Bayou

Ironically "Deliverance" was the movie of choice for Georgia.

10. "The Birds" would be good for California

Or "The Graduate." :D

[charlie and algernon]

11. How 'bout Earthquake?

:hide:

[KamaAina]

12. From inland central CA: "American Graffiti"

Might make a good state movie in the same way that "Lodi" has been suggested as the unofficial state song. :-)

party on

5. I'll take Groundhog Day for Pennsylvania

And breathe a big sigh of relief they didn't choose any one of M. Night's movies for PA.

17. It is a truly great movie

I have to see it again every year or so.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

6. The skits and movie were supposed to take place in Aurora IL. nt

[taterguy]

7. Way too many Kevin Costner movies on that list. And I'd pick Blue Velvet for NC

Bull Durham could have taken place anywhere.

Blue Velvet captures North Carolina's unique brand of craziness.

[Lucian]

8. Fargo is in ND, not MN.

I know the movie itself takes place in Minnesota, but the city of Fargo is in North Dakota.

Idiots.

They should've picked "Grumpy Old Men" or something like that.

[Taverner]

9. It's wrong. Wayne's World only made FUN of Deleware

They lived in Illinois, even though it was filmed in LA

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. It could be worse - my home state of WI got "American Movie".

What the fuck is that about?

It's like the ignorant fuckstains that put the list together were born in 1985 and have no conception that movies were made before they were born.

[GoCubsGo]

14. "Glory" for South Carolina? That's the best they could do?

I can't believe they didn't choose a film based on one of Pat Conroy's novels, like "The Great Santini", "Conrack", or "The Prince of Tides". Hell, even "Shag" is more fitting

And, yes, "Wayne's World" took place in suburban Chicago. I don't get the Delaware connection, either.

[Initech]

15. I would've picked Fight Club for Delaware, and Big Lebowski for California.

[Canuckistanian]

16. Wasn't Wilmington known as the "Saigon of the Northeast"?

I heard that somewhere. Or maybe I was drunk.

[Kat45]

18. Why don't Illinois or Nebraska have a movie?

I don't know anything about Nebraska, but there must have been a number of movies set in Illinois, Chicago alone. Was Something About Mary in RI? That's what it says, but I didn't know that. There have been a number of movies in Massachusetts and they gave us The Departed. Cool!

[Dr Morbius]

19. If Illinois were to have an official movie, it would be

The Blues Brothers.

Or perhaps a double-feature with Ferris Bueller. He's a righteous dude.

[jmowreader]

20. I was thinking Cape Fear for North Carolin

Also Blue Hawaii for Hawaii, Coal Miner's Daughter for West Virginia, Bugsy for Nevada, and of course Cannibal! The Musical for Colorado.

[flying rabbit]

21. Oregon- "Goonies"

:thumbsup:

[AllenVanAllen]

22. "No Country For Old Men" for Texas.

Fitting...

[underpants]

23. That doesn't make any sense. Wayne and Garth lived in Aurora Ill.

I have no idea where they got Delaware from

[Moondog]

24. Of all the flicks that take place in FL, they

pick Scarface? Why not Key Largo, or something more classic? Well, at least Scarface is butch, unlike, oh ... Wayne's World ....
