Iowa – The Music Man (1962)
Do you like musicals? We do too. Iowa is yet another state that does not get a lot of love. At any rate, this movie certainly upped its street cred at least a little. It is about a charlatan called Harold Hill as he pretends as a band organizer and sells uniforms and instruments to oblivious Midwesterners. He also promises to train boys for a band. As you might have guessed, his actual plan is just to skip town!
Kansas – The Wizard Of Oz (1939)
To be honest with you, this might just be the biggest movie in cinematic history. It feels like every single person in the world has seen it. In case you were wondering, it was really shot in Kansas. You know what Dorothy says: there is no place like home. However, you might not have known that this set actress Judy Garland on a tragic path. The actress had only been 17 years old when she developed substance abuse problems with the encouragement of studio executives. She ended up dying at the young age of 47.
