Movies set in the south

[Write-Away]

I'm trying to compile a list of movies set in the south. I'm not so concerned with genre. I'm mainly looking for contemporary-ish stories (not Mississippi Burning). Thanks for any suggestions. Here's what I've got so far:

Sweet Home Alabama
The Big Easy
Doc Hollywood
A Time to Kill/The Client/The Chamber
Thelma & Lousie
The Good Girl

Not a movie but I just watched the first season of HBO's TREME (from THE WIRE's David Simon) about the musical district of New Orleans post-Katrina, and it's really well done.

Wikipedia comes through again.

Just don't get too lost in there. Sometimes I spend hours just browsing that site. It's a trap!

Steel Magnolias
The Waterboy
All of Tyler Perry's movies

[Fortean]

Contemporary South

THE LAST EXORCISM was not in that Wikipedia list and was quite successful for a low budget film.

There are probably a bunch of movies called THE CHASE, at least one with a *winning!* Charlie Sheen... the Southern one has Janice Rule, Brando, Redford, and Fonda.
