We stumbled over this map last night, which chooses one film per state which “best represents” the state it was set in. There are several obvious no-brainers: Fargo, Hoosiers, Field of Dreams, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Wizard of Oz, Napoleon Dynamite. The creator even did a decent job picking films for states like New York (Taxi Driver), Texas (No Country for Old Men) and California (Fast Times at Ridgemont High) which have thousands of movies to choose from. But there are a few misses. We’ve got a problem with the creator using Jesus Camp for two states (there’s got to be a half-decent flick set in Kansas City or St. Louis, right?). We’ve got a big problem with a state like Ohio — the setting for films like Raging Bull, Rain Man, Heathers, Almost Famous and Major League — being stuck with Gummo. And, of course, we’ve got a really serious problem with the fact that the District of Columbia is totally unrepresented on the map.

There have been some pretty damn good movies set here over the years. First, no vote in Congress, now this? It’s almost too much to bear.

Of course, this griping led us to a related, yet totally different dilemma — if you had to pick one movie to represent D.C. on a national map, what would it be? It’s not an easy decision. Would you go with the dark anti-existentialism of The Exorcist? Perhaps you find the political dirt-digging and inside baseball of All The President’s Men or Wag The Dog more indicative of Washington-at-large. Maybe you’d choose the homage to youthful angst and Georgetown prepsterism in St. Elmo’s Fire. Perhaps you’d choose some literal representation with D.C. Cab. Mr. Smith Goes To Washington? Broadcast News? Of course, if you really feel like reaching, there are plenty of dark horse candidates, like In the Line of Fire, Burn After Reading, No Way Out (oh, the “Georgetown Metro”), Wedding Crashers and The American President.

Let us know what you’d go with — or movies we haven’t mentioned that are worth consideration — in the comments.
