Or any movie with a decent Southern accent. Those are few and far between.

I liked the Bootleggers back when I was about 12 because part of it was filmed in Batesville, AR.

I also liked the Johnny Cash movie, although being southern wasn't the main characteristic. My crappy hometown "played" Wheeling, WV in the 50's if that tells you anything.

Filmed all over the State of Mississippi. One of my favorite scenes was filled right down from where I grew up at D’Lo.


They scouted a place my dad was farming for the crossroads scene, but decided against it because center pivots would be in the background.

Bank robbing scene was in downtown Yazoo City

Little Warby gals singing was Canton Square
