Snyder ,'Showtime'
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.
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.
I think Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is probably the better and less insulting choice for Georgia as well.
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!

No. Wayne's World for Delaware? Etc., etc.
too bad they didn't pick Frogs for Florida.

What's really trippy is that the video for George Harrison's cover of "Got My Mind Set on You" came out the same year.
Wayne's World for Delaware?
Oh yeah wtf is up with that? It's been a while since I saw Wayne's World.
They mention Delaware and then can't come up with anything Delaware's known for.
Thus, every time I cross the state line, I quote them: "Hey! We're in DELAWARE!....uh...."

I think you're taking the map way too seriously. I don't imagine for a second it's supposed to be a representative sampling of culture across the country. I don't have to visited all the states to know that the movies are pretty random. I mean, Deliverance?
There is, apparently, a line "I'm in Delaware." and so the movie best represents that state.
