    Oh, yeah. I read about them in the Oregonian, they're in charge of Coraline. I'm so stoked they're making it entirely stop motion.

    One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Stand By Me are probably the two best films ever made in Oregon.

    I can tell you the WORST movie ever filmed in Oregon:

    Body of Evidence


    Madonna. A very, very dirty Madonna. :devilwink:

    Bit and parts of "Elizabethtown" was filmed in Portland.

    A very underrated movie, IMO.

    Most of Bongwater and The Hunted are pretty good films...

    The Shining is one of the greatest movies ever.

    Baker City

    I remember driving thru Baker on a trip with my parents and having breakfast at the Baker Hotel when they were filiming the movie. One of the actors was drunk and giving the waitress shit about his food....he'd sent the order back to the kitchen a number of times.

    One of the more controversial movies was made in Portland (at Wilson High):

    The HS shooting in Red Lake, Minnesota, the gunman watched this movie over and over. Pretty eerie.

    I stand corrected. Have you seen the movie?

    Gus Van Sant is an underrated director.

    Wasn't Thumbsucker also filmed in Oregon?

    I loved the scene where Vince Vaughn buys the debate team beer, ad Keanu Reeves is actually watchable.
