    Speaking of movies with states in the title, I'm a little surprised My Own Private Idaho wasn't nominated.

    That's a 1990s movie and I had it on my list for that tournament but didn't get to nominating it.

    I must have been thinking back to the 90s tournament then. I know it was on one of my lists.
