50 State Movie Map.

For West Virginia, I believe that the book "Rocket Boys" was actually released under the title "October Sky".

Pretty cool, but it isn't a 50 state map. Good Will Hunting covers all of New England except for Maine. Delaware isn't on there, neither are Hawaii and Alaska.

Really? For Maryland you pick Pecker? Could have gone with anything from Hairspray to Diner, and the author picked Pecker? Yeesh.

WHY THE FUCK IS MICHIGAN NOT ROBOCOP?!

thebig01 · 7 months

Allow me to fix New England:

New Hampshire- On Golden Pond or What About Bob
Rhode Island- Me, Myself, and Irene (or just about any Farrelly Brothers movie)
Connecticut- The Stepford Wives or Mystic Pizza
Vermont- Super Troopers

EDIT: Added What About Bob and Mystic Pizza

Fuck that noise, Fargo is the Minnesota film. I've never seen Minnesota so perfectly captured and satirized, it's clear the Coen brothers are from here. Just because the title is Fargo, and the first five minutes of the movie take place there, does not make it a North Dakota film.

Doesn't Fargo mainly take place in Minnesota?

Michigan doesn't have a UP. I'd like to formally request Escanaba in da Moonlight.

There needs to be some site that has a blank version of this where you can type in whatever film(and colour) you want for each state and it fits it in for you. Problem solved. And when you're done, you can order it as a poster.

I haven't looked at the picture. I'm from New Jersey. I swear if it's Clerks or Garden State...

A lot of movies took place in New York, but none as important as Ghostbusters.

We really need to have Twister replaced with The Outsiders for Oklahoma.

Every time someone posts this map I feel a need to point out the definitive movie for Texas, based in Texas, is Dazed and Confused.

kylmorg · 7 months

Mad props to whoever put American Movie in there.

mkay17 · 7 months

Yeah I guess New Hampshire and Vermont aren't states.

When I can't go to sleep this is exactly how I spend my time lying in bed:

Washington State: War Games New Mexico: Milagro Beanfield War Texas: Giant Louisiana: Southern Comfort West Virginia: Matewan Maine: Stand By Me (Misery was supposed to be set in Colorado) Idaho: My Own Private Idaho New York: Woodstock Massachusetts: Jaws

Having grown up in Colorado I must say that Red Dawn is spot on as the quintessential Colorado movie.

withtwors · 7 months

Of all the thousands of movies that could be New York... Ghostbusters?! Yea... that makes me pretty happy. :)

harrythemay · 7 months

Is The Wizard of Oz actually set in Kansas? Is it not in the Land of Oz?

Every time I see this I get pissed all over again that the state that brought you Gran Torino gets stuck with 8 Mile.

Hey man, I resent the, like, choice of Fast Times for California over The Big Lebowski.

scansinboy · 7 months

Wisconsin got American movie? Yeah it was cool and all, but a little too independent. I doubt many outside of the arthouse scene have even heard of it. What about Mr. 3000 or even Bridesmaids or the best one to represent: BASEKETBALL!?!

DirtDog13 · 7 months

Maine should be Shawshank Redemption, but a good map none the less.

jvslacker · 7 months

We got Tommy Boy...hells yeah. Major League would have been nice as well.

Me being from Hawaii and reading this was a 50 state map got me a little excited to see what my home state's movie. Much to my dismay, Hawaii was not on said 50 state map. And thus, a down vote for crushing a dream of mine. Adieu.

Delaware = Wayne's World?

It wasn't set there, but it made the most notable Delaware reference in cinema, which is close enough.

SGT3386 · 7 months

how're you going to slap the label onto Pennsylvania with Groundhog's Day? Of all movies! why not Rocky 1 thru 7? Yes I count Adrian's Revenge as a movie.

derktoon · 7 months

hell yes, we may have hippies, bigfoot, and too much rain and coffee...but at least we get Goonies.

Drshinra · 7 months

Pennsylvania = Night of the Living Dead

EDIT: Just adding on Groundhog Day was filmed mostly in Illinois and not Pennsylvania.

'Children of the Corn' a short story written by Stephen King was originally published in Penthouse Magazine.

iforaneye · 7 months

I'm pretty angry as a resident of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan that we are not represented on this map; as in we are not even on the map at all. Yes I know we are part of Michigan but not all of Michigan can be represented by 8 Mile, and I mean that in a literal sense not metaphorically; 8 Mile is not a long enough title to stretch it across 2 peninsulas. So basically what I'm saying is give us a movie: either Escanaba In Da Moonlight or Anatomy of a Murder. That is all

thirdman69 · 7 months

What the fuck man? Rambo first blood was filmed in British Columbia not washington

macyntyre · 7 months

I could be wrong but I thought misery was based I Colorado, although the majority of S. King books are somewhere in Maine.

fermatafantastique · 7 months

I'm just gonna go ahead and be a dick and point out that most of Fargo takes place in Minnesota. Only the first scene is in Fargo, ND.

havingthis · 7 months

No Hawaii or Alaska and apparently "Conmontechusettshire" and "Maryware" are states.

NazzerDawk · 7 months

So many good movies... and I'm stuck in a place best known for Twister.
