Default Best films about Texas

I don't why Texas in particular, but a lot of great ones have been made there:

Hud (1962)
The Last Picture Show (1971)
Lone Star (1996)
A Trip to Bountiful (1985)

Office Space, well it was shot in Dallas and Austin so it must be about Texans.

The Alamo, John Wayne and Richard Widmark

Man of Conquest received three Academy award nominations in '39

yeah, the FNL movie came out in 2004.

same actress played "Mrs Coach" in both the movie and the TV series, and the same actor plays the "crazy booster dad" in both too
