	Good idea for a quiz but there are definitely some problems. Arkansas is spelled wrong. Shawshank is spelled wrong. You have Dances With Wolves taking place in South Carolina, but it was in South Dakota. Fargo the city might be in North Dakota, but the movie took place in Minnesota. Fix these (and any others I missed) and you have the makings of a really good quiz.

	I never imagined Psycho taking place anywhere west of the Rockies...especially when there's a swamp involved in the plot.

	Yeah Fargo was only briefly in Fargo, the vast majority of the film took place in Minnesota

	12 monkeys is in Philadelphia, PA.

Comment below threshold: show it

	American Splendor is set in Ohio, not Delaware.

	Being an editor pick, I really must join in and state that Minnesota should be accepted for Fargo. It's true the title is Fargo, but 99% of the film takes place in Minnesota, thus anyone who is familiar with the film will be confused.

	The Rainmaker takes place in Memphis. Rudy Baylor does go to Cleveland briefly to do a deposition, but the majority of the story takes place in Memphis.

	echo the comments on several questionable choices, esp Fargo as all but the first 4 minutes of the film take place in MN

	Part of American Splendor takes place in Delaware, but the vast majority of the film takes place in Cleveland!

	I have to echo some of these, especially about Fargo. The quiz is a great undertaking and has potential, but other comments could be made - are we talking about the WHOLE movie being set somewhere? If so, that would exclude Forgetting Sarah Marshall and potentially others.

	To be fair, the wikipedia list "Movies Set in Delaware" has exactly 2 entries, both of which are completely obscure --- but American Splendor is just ridiculous considering that the city of Cleveland is practically a main character in the film.

	You sure the Blind Side wasn't in Mississippi?

	Fidelio:	May 3rd, 2012 at 17:55 GMT	2 points
	If there are no options for North Dakota besides Fargo, then I'd change the clue to "Fargo (Opening Scene Only)" - and I'd do something similar with American Splendor, to clarify which scenes you're referring to.

	I agree with above and also, the beginning of Psycho takes place in Arizona but the Bates Motel is in California

	So, this quiz was created in August 2010, and immediately several problems were identified by commenters. It was recently updated, presumably, because the clickable format has only been around for a month or so, but it still has several problems, including at least one (Fargo) that was first pointed out nearly two years ago. Why is this an Editor's Pick?

	You may want to change The Rainmaker one, or specify which movie you're talking about (the Katherine Hepburn one or the Matt Damon one?)
