What Movies Take Place in the South of the U.S.
 
I just saw Nashville and I will have you know that it was a fun 2 1/2 hours about some country artists and the election. One of my favorite parts was any of the parts where one character named Sueleen sings poorly and then she has to strip to keep the audience happy. What made this movie fun to watch was mostly the music. This might need a rewatch as there were so many characters to follow and they handled it very well here but also because this movie was great.

Because I saw this, I got in the mood to see what other movies took place in the South. The next one thought about was Smokey and the Bandit which I saw most of to the finish, but not the start of it though. Maybe I can rewatch that.

What are some movies that you like that has a setting of the South of US.

Southern Comfort is one I enjoy. Deliverance is another.

Hard Times: Charles Bronson as a bareknuckle boxer in Depression-era New Orleans. It's Walter Hill's first movie. The fight scenes are exciting and it's often quite funny, especially due to Strother Martin's doctor and James Coburn's gambling-addicted manager.

This is good? I like Mawra’s Olga movies (the ones I’ve seen at least), interested in digging further.

It's sweaty and scandalous. Is anything else necessary.

I’ll be sure to pat my brow with a handkerchief and sip on an iced tea during my viewing.

(I assume that’s what people do in the south. At least when they’re not wolfing down their delicious barbecue.)

Does Texas count? Because I'd vote Texas Chain Saw Massacre if it does.

Not sure where he's from but Texas is as south as it gets.
