To no one’s surprise, perhaps, the results also showed that people love movies set in their region and Washington is the perfect example of that with “Sleepless in Seattle” being our state’s favorite.
Among our neighbors, the quirky French movie “Amélie” is beloved in Oregon while “The Princess Bride” rules in Idaho.
