Recommend me: Films based in Bayou type locations

I don't know why but I seem to love all the films I've seen that are set in Bayou locations like those in Louisiana and Texas. I loved:

Mud
Blue Bayou
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Joe

I have Eve's Bayou on my watchlist already. Are there any others?

If you want to wallow in bayou imagery, it's hard to beat Louisiana Story (1948). That's the first that comes to mind. It's streaming on multiple apps and in decent copies on Youtube. I'll try to think of more later. My fellow countryman @Wooley can probably help too.





(And if schlocky horror films are also on the table I can bombard you with lots of those.)

Dang it, Thief sniped me by mere minutes. Yes, that.

Oooh yes, lots of these look good. I've been meaning to watch Bad Lieutenant for years. Thanks

that looks great thanks. Never heard of it!

There doesn't appear to be a blu ray release of this. What a travesty. I'll have to watch it on youtube thanks

I'd like to elaborate... Hallelujah might seem a bit rough, but if you're into the history of cinema, it is an important milestone as far as an early century musical starring African-American goes. It also has a very creepy climax that takes place *wait for it* in a bayou that kinda gets under your skin.

Down by Law is just awesome, any way you look at it. One of my favorite first-time watches of this year.

I nearly stuck down by law on last week. Hadn't realized it was set in Louisiana, I assumed it was set in New York. Thanks.

Hallelujah looks interesting also. I'm not that into musicals but will shove it on the list.

I suppose The Nest of the Cuckoo Birds fits the description. It's not great but it's not without value. either.
