I'm not man enough to track down any actual quotes, but I'll bet you can kill off Minnesota and North Dakota from the movie Fargo.

You know, I thought Fargo would knock out both those states, but none of the quotes on the Internet mention either state. Guess I'll have to watch the movie again.
And none of the quotes with the word Oregon really say anything about the state.

Joe: What are you worried about? This job is going to last a long time. Jerry: Suppose it doesn't? Joe: Jerry, boy, why do you have to paint everything so black? Jerry: Oh, please.

OK, I fixed Maine & Massachusetts. *cough* thanks rivka *cough*
Added quotes for Arizona, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Vermont (all by rivka except Oregon by sndrake).
Had to disqualify the Washington quote from Damn Yankees because it's referring to DC, not the state.
Down to Nevada and Washington. Apparantly movies only want to talk about Las Vegas and Seattle, not the actual states.
Thanks for the help everyone - exams are over and we have an almost complete list.

You should have that cough looked at, Dagonee. O:)

Do you know how impossible it is to find a Washington movie quote that's NOT about George OR D.C.? Anyway, while I was pretty sure it referred to D.C. (they're the Senators, after all!), I couldn't resist a quote from Damn Yankees! I love that musical. Posts: 32919 | Registered: Mar 2003

I thought we'd give this another try. We need a movie quote for Washington state. Not D.C. I hate having almost a complete set and not being able to finish it off.
Any movies with Microsoft or Boeing?

Not sure, but isn't "First Blood" set in Washington State... maybe something there? Maybe "Kindergarten Cop", too
