What's The Best Movie Filmed In Oregon or Portland?

[ABM]

One Flew Over? Drugstore Cowboy? Animal House?

None of these?

What's your favorite?

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

1) The Goonies (Astoria)
2) One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Salem)

And for kicks...

(Astoria)

 

[TradeNurkicNow]

Short Circuit.

Also, the Ring (the 2002 English remake of Ringu) was decent. I don't know where it was filmed, but I heard it was in Oregon. The characters and dialogue were terrible, but the pacing, atmosphere, music, effects, etc were really cool.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Short Circuit!

Filmed in Astoria, Portland, and Crown Point State Park on the Columbia River Gorge.

 

[MARIS61]

Paint Your Wagon.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

Paint Your Wagon.

Was that filmed in Oregon?

 

[dpc]

Animal House or Goonies.

My vote would be One Flew Over...

Cool. I liked that movie a lot. Lee Marvin is one of my favorite actors.

The inside scenes of the Shining weren't filmed inside the lodge, actually.

Haven't seen this but it sounds like a landmark film filmed partly in Oregon:

Oh, yeah. I read about them in the Oregonian, they're in charge of Coraline. I'm so stoked they're making it entirely stop motion.

 

[THE HCP]

Stand By Me, Goonies

 

[Shooter]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Stand By Me are probably the two best films ever made in Oregon.

 

[MickZagger]

The River Wild- Filmed on the Rogue River

Free Willy

 

[The Professional Fan]

I can tell you the WORST movie ever filmed in Oregon:

Body of Evidence

Madonna. A very, very dirty Madonna.

 

[dpc]

Wasn't War Games with a very young Matthew Brodderick filmed in Oregon?

 

[Shooter]

I can tell you the WORST movie ever filmed in Oregon:

Body of Evidence

Madonna. A very, very dirty Madonna.

Timothy Hutton did a stinker in Oregon, too. I can't remember the name.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Bit and parts of "Elizabethtown" was filmed in Portland.

A very underrated movie, IMO.

 

[Nate4Prez]

Most of Bongwater and The Hunted are pretty good films...

The Shining is one of the greatest movies ever.

 

[ucatchtrout]

Was that filmed in Oregon?

Baker City

I remember driving thru Baker on a trip with my parents and having breakfast at the Baker Hotel when they were filiming the movie. One of the actors was drunk and giving the waitress shit about his food....he'd sent the order back to the kitchen a number of times.
