Readers nominate flicks for Oregon's official movie

Readers nominate flicks for Oregon's official movie

After our article about a legislative resolution to declare "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" as the official film of Oregon, readers have come forward with their own suggestions for a state movie.

Many nominations feature famous actors and directors with ties to Oregon. Clint Eastwood's "Paint Your Wagon," which was filmed in Baker City, received multiple votes. Kevin Costner's "The Postman," set in post-apocalyptic Oregon, was also suggested.

Other films nominated include Gus Van Sant's "My Own Private Idaho," which features Portland as its backdrop, and the animated classic "Coraline," based on Neil Gaiman's novel set in Ashland.

One reader even nominated the 1985 cult classic “The Goonies,” which takes place entirely in Astoria on the north coast of Oregon.

While there is no formal process for selecting an official state movie, it is clear that many films hold sentimental value to residents of Oregon. The diverse range of nominations shows just how important movies can be when it comes to showcasing a state’s identity and culture.
