Movies filmed in the Northwest?

[PNWguy]

I know there have been a bunch of films made in our region over the years, but I stumbled across one last night that I hadn't watched before.

It was "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot" starring Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges and made in 1974.

Can't believe I'd never seen it before as it featured some great actors like Eastwood, Bridges, George Kennedy, Gary Busey, and Catherine Back (Daisy from Dukes of Hazzard).

It's on Netflix and filmed mostly in Montana.

The most local movie when I was a teen was Vision Quest, filmed in Spokane, WA.

Featured Matt Modine and the hottest girl I had seen up to that point in my young life, Linda Fiorentino. Also was Madonna's first appearance on the big screen, IIRC.

I was watching the awesome series "Justified" that is supposedly based in Kentucky and there was an outdoors scene featuring an abundance of Douglas Fir and some sagebrush. I laughed and thought how mad Kentuckians must be to have their woods portrayed so innacurately. Most of the outdoors scenes were shot in California.
