Utah
For a small-town like Utah city, dancing is virtually illegal.Spoiler alert, for those who still haven’t seen this spectacular Utah-set film, after a particularly dramatic series of emotional dances, the whole town kick off their Sunday shoes and get Footloose. And the Utah-set runners-up are James Franco getting stuck under a big rock in 127 Hours, horror classic Carnival of Souls, and the underrated Matthew Lillard dramedy SLC Punk!
Vermont
Of course, we all remember this classic Vermont-set drama, Dead Poets Society, an emotional film with possibly one of the most talented stars, Robin Williams Certainly a tear-jerker that tells a story of an English teacher who inspires his students. O captain, our captain, thank you. But wait there’s more, Vermont-set runner-ups include White Christmas, David Mamet’s satire, State and Main; cult comedy Super Troopers, The Trouble With Harry, What Lies Beneath, starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer.
