The 50 Best Movies Named After U.S. States

What follows is a state-by-state pick for the best movies that features a state's name — mostly in full, but in a few cases just in part. Sometimes we had to get creative, to make sure every state had a halfway decent representative. Please note that these films don't have to be set in their states, or be about them in any way — although that certainly is a point in their favor.
