-Southern Comfort (Louisiana National Guardsmen on summer maneuvers in the swamps...things don't go so well with the 'neighbors')
-Mississippi Masala (people from India move to MI)
-Angel Heart (Lisa Bonet [hot, hot, hot], Mickey Rourke and Robert DeNiro); a real mind-bender of a movie.
-movies about Huey Long (Kingfish, etc.)
-Winter Kills (set mostly in Texas, about an 'alternative' explanation as to how JFK was killed and why and who did it; by Richard Condon who also wrote The Manchurian Candidate).
-the Elmore Leonard movies (set mostly in Florida)
-To Kill a Mockingbird
-Giant (about Texas oilmen, etc.)
-Cool Hand Luke
-Glory
-Hud (with Paul Newman
-The Alamo (John Wayne's epic.)
-Red Badge of Courage (Civil War movie based on Stephen Crane's classic book).
-Andersonville (about the Confederate prisoner-of-war camp for Union soldiers).
-Body Heat (this movie caused every wind chime ever made to be sold out for years afterwards.)
-Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (the book is better, but seeing Savannah on the screen: priceless!)
-Sweet Bird of Youth (Paul newman is a 'barn burner' and Ed Begley Sr. gives an Academy Award-winning performance: his "cut the mustard" scene is priceless.)
there are dozens more, but these are some of my favorites
by the way: LA = LOUISIANA.....LO = loser

Biloxi Blues was fun. Mississippi Burning. Gone with the Wind. In the heat of the night.

I personally thought Ghosts of Missippi was a great movie.
Driving Miss Daisy was a fantastic movie, too.
And, not "deep south", but Forrest Gump is still an incredible film, and it's "south enough".
