koyoteblogman............top iwanian film list

here goes fellow kinema kinephiles
or film list freaks
who like to eyeball & tastetest other peoples lists
...........in other of favorites

some great films have been filmed in the cornfields&prairies&bergs of ioway
from baseball to farm sales to escaped lovers to bankrupcies to a indian film
there are a lot worse places to live or be born into
best food in the world...........ripe tomatoes to sweetkorn to t-bone steaks
some awful beautiful women also smile & wave...... here in the tundra too
married to one...........created one............watching one grow into a babygirl
reminds me of the ole mom mabley line..........

thanxs no.1 son;;;
always leave something out to catch someone's attention
.some more from the '40's & 50's did unintentionally forget twister will add it

heard children of the corn was filmed in nebraska but talked about ioway

IMDB has Children of the corn filmed at

Hornick, Iowa
Salix, Iowa
Sioux City, Iowa
Whiting, Iowa

Twister had scenes from Ames, IA as well as:

Boone, Iowa
Eldora, Iowa
Rippey, Iowa
Whitten, Iowa

Also I saw an independent film called Iowa but have never saw it myself.

#1 sonofthesun
eye stand kornfield korrected
kan't argue with imdb
there are a half dozen more films about ioway
but filmed in the 30's-40's
& not much demand for 'em
besides not on dvd
always a delight to get feedback
