Best Movies Set in Each of the 50 States

For each of the 50 states here is an attempt to name the best movie set in that state. The goal was for it to be primarily set there (which is why "Fargo" is in Minnesota), but obviously if "North by Northwest" represents South Dakota flexibility got involved. Do this again tomorrow and the list will be different, so it is not set in stone.
