For what it's worth, an informal poll of the Digg office yielded these reactions:

  • Louisiana: Should have been "Steel Magnolias."
  • Oregon: "Stand By Me" is good, but it could've been "The Goonies," "Overboard," or "Quarterback Princess."
  • New Jersey: What about "The Wrestler?"
  • Indiana: "Hoosiers" would've been the easy pick, but "Breaking Away" is the correct choice. Well done, EW. 
  • Washington: "Twilight" is so, so wrong when you have "Sleepless In Seattle," "10 Things I Hate About You," "WarGames"…
  • Oklahoma: Just going with "Oklahoma" is too easy when you have "Twister."
