Mississippi – O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
In case you did not know, this crime-comedy flick is based on “The Odyssey” by Homer. In fact, the Greek poet is even listed on IMDb as a writer. Holly Hunter, John Goodman, and George Clooney are three convicts who break free from prison and go on a hunt for hidden treasure during the Great Depression. Of course, there is also a determined cop after that. The soundtrack is excellent too.
Missouri – Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
Aside from playing Dorothy, Judy Garland played Esther in this film. It is a musical about four sisters who get ready to move to New York just before the World’s Fair in 1904. Did you know that “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” came from this film? It is neat to see just how big the song has since become.
