I'm not sure how First Blood represents us
But it is funny.
Gunn: You saying popping mama threw you a beating? Lorne: Kid Vicious did the heavy lifting. Cordy just mwah-ha-ha'd at us.

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.

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

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.

I'd think Steel Magnolias would be the platonic ideal movie for Louisiana.
I'm cool with True Grit for Arkansas, and am cracking up over the choice of The Evil Dead for Tennessee rather than Nashville.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Do the other movies seem representative of their states? Brokeback Mountain? Napoleon Dynamite?
I can't really speak to those as I've neither lived in, nor visited those states.
No Country For Old Men fits Texas fairly well, but why choose a gawd awful Deliverance-meets-Vietnam hackfest when there's All the King's Men, The Big Easy, Storyville, Eve's Bayou, Steel Magnolias, Albino Alligator, and whatever other ones I can't think of off the top of my head.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is probably the better and less insulting choice for Georgia as well.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
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.
Yes! Dancing with the lamp!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

No. Wayne's World for Delaware? Etc., etc.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
too bad they didn't pick Frogs for Florida.
