Favorite Movie Filmed In Louisiana

I always loved Live and Let Die as a kid, me and my buddies watched it 100 times :
In Live and Let Die, several locations in Louisiana were used, most notably in and around New Orleans. The film prominently features the Irish Bayou, part of the Bayou Sauvage Urban National Wildlife Refuge, for the famous boat chase scene. Other locations include Lakefront Airport, where Bond gives a flying lesson, and the French Quarter, specifically Chartres Street, for the funeral scene.

Does Out of Sight count? It wasn't fully filmed in Louisiana but part of it was.

It's probably Live and Let Die for me, as well.
I have a soft spot for the Walter Hill films. He made a lot of films in Louisiana and Texas in the 70s and 80s (and The Long Riders in Georgia and Crossroads in Mississippi)
The Drowning Pool (Walter Hill produced, Stuart Rosenberg directed)
Hard Times (underrated, Hill's directorial debut)
Southern Comfort
Richard Donner's The Toy would be a favorite, although Donner hated Baton Rouge after that.
Everybody's All-American by Taylor Hackford, not a great film, objectively, but a favorite for a lot of sentimental reasons

They filmed the game scenes at halftime of an LSU game. Of course it ran long and people booed the actors off the field.
Terrible movie.

A buddy of mine’s parents have a small role in this film, and they were in the scene holding his brand new older baby sister. My buddy wasn’t born yet. I think his parents speak to Pryor in the scene.
My picks:
Pelican Brief
LALD
Steel Magnolias
Electric Mist

I was doing a rewatch of Twisted Metal and the mall screen in the first episode was filmed at the Old Northshore Mall in Slidell.

Pretty much all of season 1 was filmed in and around the New Orleans area.
