A movie for Utah
Apparently because there's not enough to do in the Massachusetts Legislature, State Rep. William Brownsberger has introduced a bill that would make "Fever Pitch" - the 2005 romance and Red Sox comedy starring Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon - the official movie of the commonwealth.

Aside from questioning Rep. Brownsberger's taste in movies (c'mon, why not "The Departed" or "Mystic River" or "Good Will Hunting"?), this story got me thinking: What would be Utah's official movie?
  • Would it be a movie about Utah history, like "Brigham Young, Frontiersman"?
  • Would it be a movie about Mormon history, like "The Work and the Glory"?
  • Would it be a movie filmed in Utah, like "High School Musical" or "Thelma and Louise"?
  • Or would it be a movie made by a Utah filmmaker, like Trent Harris' "Rubin & Ed"?
Come on, Utah, what would you pick? Nominate your favorites in the comments.

If it's not Fletch I don't want to know about it.

Oh come on. There's an obvious choice. (a) Part of it was filmed in Salt Lake City. (b) It describes the legislative leadership perfectly.

Dumb and Dumber.

There is always Raising Arizona for its epilogue and final line concerning our great state.
