Whether or not you can hop on a plane or jump in your car for an epic trip, there is still a good way to travel across the country and visit other states — and that’s through movies. We picked 50 films that are set and/or filmed in the states they represent. There’s a mix of drama, comedy, horror and action films, and our list is by no means exhaustive.
The New Yorks and Californias of the world have so many good, representative films that it’s almost impossible to pick just one. We’ve included classics, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and “Meet Me in St. Louis,” as well as added more recent films, like “Moonlight” and “The Help” — all of which we feel truly capture the people, culture, scenery and history of a given state.
Read on to find out which 50 films we think best represent each state and decide if you agree.
