	Hey everyone, I made a quiz similar to this one, except about beer, a few months ago. I figured it would be fun to make like it, except something more people might know about. A few notes: As it says above, a some of these movies feature a few different states, i.e. - Fargo. However,Fargo mostly takes place in Minnesota (not North Dakota) so that is the correct answer. I changed a few of the movies that the source provided, because a few were too easy, didn't make sense, or were repeated. So, if there are any mistakes, recommendations for improvement, or anything like that, let me know and I'll fix it. Thanks for playing, I hope everyone enjoys.

	I only got a little over half, but I had a fun time doing it. Great quiz!

	"Me, Myself and Irene" might be a better answer for Rhode Island. At least half of "There's Something About Mary" takes place in Florida. I know you explained in the instructions, but that's just not the best choice there.

	Probably you had trouble finding a movie that took place in Delaware, but it seems ridiculous not to accept Ohio for American Splendor.

	I wonder how many people put North Dakota in for Fargo. I know I did.

	More than half of Me Myself and Irene takes place outside of Rhode Island, as well.

	Fight Club was supposed to be set in Wilmington, Delaware. As for Rhode Island, Dan in Real Life, Evening and Reversal of Fortune were all set there.

	Problems here are that: 1) the list on the link isn't spectacularly good. (Jesus Camp used not just once but twice?!?) and 2) there's actually an original and older quiz on the same subject posted here several months back. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Aarong/50states50movies I think between the two of them, there's a good front page quiz, but it should take the best clues for each state from both lists.

	@Aaron - That was exactly my problem. I couldn't find any well known movies that mostly take place in Delaware. American Splendor was the closest I could find, because, as you see, the source lists Wayne's World which makes no sense, and as Treehuggn said, Fight Club is supposed to take place in Delaware, but this is never mentioned in the movie, at least to my knowledge. American Splendor was the best I could find, but if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. @rockgolf - As I said, I changed a few from the source, such as Arizona and Delaware, and got rid of the repetition of Jesus Camp. As for the other, earlier quiz, I had no clue that it had been made. I searched for similar quizzes when making this one, and that one didn't show up. Thanks for pointing that out though. I don't want anyone to think I was stealing someone else's idea.

	Most of There's Something About Mary takes place in Florida

	Ok, so I changed the movie for Rhode Island to Me, Myself, & Irene. I hope this makes things better. Thanks again to everyone for the comments, they're always appreciated.

	What about "Sleepless in Seattle" for Washington?

	cocky:	Nov 26th, 2010 at 14:20 GMT	2 points
	What did you eliminate that was too easy? What could be eaiser than movies like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or Hoosiers?

	thunderroad:	Nov 26th, 2010 at 20:44 GMT	1 point
	I changed Raising Arizona. I wanted a few easier ones, like the ones you mentioned, for people who aren't great at movie quizes.
