I know this won't quite be up everybody's ally but whatever. I live in Texas and quite like it. I also love watching movies set in or about Texas. What are some of your favorites?

In the past couple weeks I have watched The Little Picture Show, Texasville, and Lone Star. All are very good movies.

Anybody have any recs or what are some of y'alls favorites?

While not as great as some of the others mentioned in this thread, Lone Star State of Mind is a guilty pleaure for me and the wife. Its a fun stupid comedy.

Hell or High Water is a good one set mostly in west Texas.

Glory Road is a great sports movie about Texas Western’s NCAA championship. Up until Baylor won, it was the only basketball national championship from a Texas school.

Paris, Texas is an underrated gem. Very slow but worth it.
