My fav is The Last Picture Show filmed mostly in Archer City. A much better Alamo movie was filmed in Dripping Springs and Bastrop. Don't think anyone mentioned this yet. Much of it in San Marcos...

June 25, 20187 yr Lone Wolf McQuade. Chuck Norris as a Texas Ranger who fights David Carradine. Fuck you all for not mentioning it yet.

June 25, 20187 yr 4 hours ago, BurntEyes said: Good film, but it's been a while. I don't recall any references to Texas. I don't recall thinking, Texas while watching but.. I dont recall specific references, but definitely set in the Tyler area i believe and based on a novel, which was based on real-life events, sufficiently closely that the guy portrayed by Jason Patric sued everyone in sight. https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/15/432/535895/

June 26, 20187 yr Raggedy Man - Set in Lockhart, not sure how much was filmed there. Paris, Texas - Filmed mainly in Ft Stockton area. Bonnie and Clyde - Family gathering scene was filmed in Red Oak, Texas Places in the Heart - #2 behind Places in the Heart in Waxahachie.

June 26, 20187 yr State Fair. Ann Margret did it for me back in the day. Lonesome Dove qualify? If not, still best damn movie or whatever, ever.
June 26, 20187 yr 12 hours ago, Johnny Sack said: What? He was hunting antelope in the first scene. That is not Eagle Pass/Del Rio. Right. The setting was Terrell County. The scene could have been shot in one of a handful of W. Texas counties, but that looks like Terrell County to me.

Don't think anyone mentioned this yet. Much of it in San Marcos... Looking at McQueen in that poster reminded me of "Baby The Rain must Fall" with McQueen and Lee Remick. I knew part of it was filmed in Columbus, because I lived right down the road in Eagle Lake. That was a pretty big deal for youngsters back then. After looking at Wikipedia I learned it was also filmed in Wharton, Bay City and Lockhart.
June 26, 20187 yr A classic shot in Houston. I think the character Malvert is loosely based upon Mr. Phlegm.
June 26, 20187 yr Waiting for Guffman was filmed in Lockhart. DOA (1988 with Dennis Quaid) in San Marcos.

Such a terrible movie but bonus points for the climactic scene being shot on the riverwalk Other San Antonio movies: Johnny Be Good starring Anthony Michael Hall as the highly recruited high school quarterback and Miss Congeniality with Sandra Bullock.

June 26, 20187 yr I mean, if we're just naming movies shot in Texas, then Hope Floats was mostly in Smithville, and DOA was San Marcos/Austin. But neither were particularly good...
June 26, 20187 yr Hope Floats was pretty meh. Sandra B did look good though, for sure. Edited June 26, 20187 yr by utee94

At review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, as of July 2014, Johnny Be Good had a 0% rating, based on 11 reviews, with an average score of 2.3/10.[1] Awards and nominations Nugent's contribution to the soundtrack, "Skintight", earned nomination for a 1988 Golden Raspberry Award as Worst Original Song.
June 26, 20187 yr Anything that happened to have been shot in Texas or set in Texas shouldn't necessarily be included. I think Texas or a particular place or part of Texas needs to basically be a whole character of a movie for it to count. That or the movie is about people or something distinctly Texan.
June 26, 20187 yr 6 minutes ago, BurntEyes said: Nobody has mentioned Idiocracy, Sin City, Texas Chainsaw Massacre; the Next Generation (with 2 Longhorns), Machette, Slacker, Waking Life, The DUFF, so I mean, why not those two. Texas Chainsaw Massacre, TNG, with Renee and Matthew really should be listed here. Don't think I've seen Spy Kids mentioned yet, either...
June 26, 20187 yr Filmed primarily at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos. Additional filming in Wimberly and Seguin. Edited June 26, 20187 yr by Jerry Callo

I don't think Bernie has been mentioned, but it should definitely be somewhere on a list of Texas movies. Hell, the diner scene alone with the old man describing different parts of the state is classic.

The town of Carthage is basically a character in that movie.

I'm no big fan of East Texas, yet I found the movie and it's East Texas setting and characters (many of whom were played by local residents) really endearing to me.
June 27, 20187 yr Y'all member that academy award winning movie shot in Austin called "Man of the House"? Member?
June 27, 20187 yr On 6/25/2018 at 9:06 AM, Grandioso said: Although shot in and around Austin, and referencing the moon tower, Top Notch, etc., Dazed and Confused has way more elements from Huntsville, where Linklater went to high school. (Also, Everybody Wants Some is about RL's freshman year at Sam Houston State.) Ricky Floyd ("Randall" Floyd in the movie), Wooderson, O'Bannon, Slater, and others are/were literally real people RL went to high school with. My aunt dated Ricky Floyd briefly in high school. The senior-freshman hazing ritual still goes on. The Emporium was a pool hall in Huntsville. At the end they drive down to Houston for Aerosmith tickets. http://www.buildingshsu.com/site/resources/dazed.html This sent me down the internet rabbit hole. In 2004 Slater, Floyd and Wooderson sued Linklater for defamation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A45614-2004Dec7.html?noredirect=on Some facts from the article- Pink was a second string OL, not a star QB, Wooderson is now divorced (not shocking), Wooderson's son went to Harvard. From L to R, Slater, Pink and Wooderson in 2004. Edited June 27, 20187 yr by Not a cat
June 27, 20187 yr My dad said that Wooderson passed away last month. He's moved on to the great moon tower beer bust in the sky. RIP.
June 27, 20187 yr According to the obit Wooderson was an aggy. Makes sense if you think about it but i guess with mccoughnahey playing him I always pictured him as one of us. http://obituaries.itemonline.com/obituary/robert-wooderson-1957-2018-1061794896

Can you see a guy who dressed and acted like that on the aggy campus in the 1970s?
