Kentucky Movies somewhat recent?
I know Coal Miners Daughter,Eliizabethtown are 2 good movies that are Kentucky movies any other good ones? I love Kentucky any ideas?
"The Dollmaker" (1984) set in backwoods of Kentucky in pre-WWII, does very well illustrating how rough life was in these poor rural areas.
"We are Marshall" (2006) The tragedy and rebuilding of the Marshall football program. Huntington, WV is just across the state border. It was big news here too.
"Harlan County War" Dangers of coal mining and labor disputes with coal companies.
I don’t think they come out right and say it, but I believe "The Little Colonel" (1935) is supposed to be in Kentucky. Shirley Temple movie, post civil war time, family infighting, happy ending. Typical of movies made in the ’30s. But enjoyable.
Not sure if it was set in Kentucky, but Steel (1979) was filmed in Lexington. A stunt man filmed one scene falling successfully and later attempted another fall to set a record, but the air bag broke.
"Goldfinger" (1965) also shot some scenes in Lexington, KY. Wow has the scenery changed!
Please, please, please avoid "Next of Kin"! Don’t say you weren’t warned. The culture clash plot could have been good, but the stereotypes went over the top and the story line went from suspending what happens in the real world to outright implausible.
