50 Favorite Movies Set in Every Single State + Honorable Mentions: Cnet Traveller

Kansas and The Wizard of Oz. Iowa and Field of Dreams. New York and Do the Right Thing. Some movies are synonymous with certain states, but which ones are the absolute best? We set out to pick our favorite films that take place in each U.S. state, taking into consideration cinematic value, cultural impact, and, of course, how well they represent and showcase their settings. We ended up with a list of 50 critically acclaimed movies that not only want to make us spend a day with Netflix, but take a few American road trips as well.
