Question

What movies are set in Memphis?

Answer

- Walk the Line: Johnny Cash biopic starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. Famous locations include Sun Studio, the Orpheum theater, and Bozo's Hot Pit BBQ. The Pipkin Building stood in for Folsom Prison. - The Firm: Harvard Law graduate moves to Tennessee where things go downhill quickly. Don't read into this too much :) Prominent locations are the Shrine Building (called "the Peabody" in the movie), Beale Street (Tom Cruise does flips), and a climactic chase on Mud Island. - The Rainmaker: Another John Grisham book directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring a young Matt Damon. The Arcade Diner, the Peabody Hotel, and many other locations downtown are featured. - The Blind Side: Book and movie telling the inspiring story of Michael Oher. He went from homeless to playing in the NFL through the help of a local Memphis family. Sadly, the film's producers chose to film in Atlanta.
