I love the commenter who said Fargo = Minnesota = fail. Durr... try watching the movie, dude.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I am a little uncomfortable with the movie chosen to represent Louisiana.
The synopsis: A squad of National Guards on an isolated weekend exercise in the Louisiana swamp must fight for their lives when they anger local Cajuns by stealing their canoes. Without live ammunition and in a strange country, their experience begins to mirror the Vietnam experience.
That doesn't seem so much representative to me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't think the guy who created that map is terribly well-traveled. Sounds like real linkbait.

I haven't seen it but there's so many great LA movies. If The Blues Brothers can stand for all of Illinois, surely The Big Easy could have been Louisiana.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do the other movies seem representative of their states? Brokeback Mountain? Napoleon Dynamite?
I just think LA got stuck with a boring movie. I'm sure there must be tons more exciting movies for the state.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Freaks is creepy as all get-out, but I don't think it's too scary for a die-hard horror fan. Hell, there were episodes of Carnivàle that were more traumatizing.
Not to mention certain episodes of the X-Files

Evil Dead II was pretty hilarious and has the best Hemingway-related visual gag ever.
I love the scene where the entire room starts laughing at Ash, and he starts joining in having gone completely bugfuck crazy (as in, John Crichton-worthy crazy) at that point.

I'm not sure how First Blood represents us, but then, neither do Sleepless in Seattle or Singles. So.

Because books.
Without reading the list, I'm really hoping Escape From New York is on there.

And what the hell's up with calling October Sky "Rocket Boys"? That was the name of the book, not the movie, idiot.
