Kentucky – Kentucky (1938)
Yes, this movie was actually filmed in the state that it was named for. Jack and Sally are lovers plagued by a family feud fueled by her uncle. Set 75 years after the Civil War, it was a fun take on the Romeo and Juliet trope. It might have been made a very long time ago, but it still holds up even today.
Louisiana – A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)
The Bayou State, which houses New Orleans, has earned a reputation as a cultural hub. We are not at all surprised to hear that a classic movie was shot there. Elia Kazan directed this movie, and it was based on a play by Tennessee Williams. The classic movie follows a southern belle called Balance DuBois as she transitions from the aristocratic life to a humbler one after suffering several personal losses.
