Movies for Every State (+ D. C.)

There were a number of things we did in every state, along with going to a church, a bar and to the movies. We also watched a movie that was set or filmed in that state. The DVD folder we travelled with covered most states, but not all -- and sometimes we didn’t have a DVD for a state or access to a DVD player, so we needed to stream. But we persevered, and here are the films that represented each state (and the District of Columbia):
