The Most Famous Movie Set In Every State
"Taxi Driver"/Columbia Pictures Corporation "Taxi Driver" captures the grit of 1970s New York.

To pick the most famous, we evaluated the state's prominence in the movie and leaned toward movies that were filmed in that location as well. The movie's lifetime gross, its critical acclaim, and testimonials by our geographically diverse staff also influenced our decision.
