Sweet Home Alabama: Difference between revisions

 

== [[Film]] ==

* ''[[The Blind Side]]'': Well, it's actually Tennessee, but still. The film also has elements of [[Deep South]].

* The fictional Crowley Corners, Tennessee from [[Hannah Montana]] the movie is one of these places. Actual filming was done in the city of Columbia, about 50 miles south of Nashville.

* ''[[Forrest Gump]]''

* ''Fried Green Tomatoes''

* ''Mystery Train''

* ''[[My Cousin Vinny]]'': plays it both ways. Some of the Southerners are portrayed as rednecks and somewhat dim but the rest are presented as decent folks. The Northerners act more like stereotypical New Yawkers. It's basically stereotype vs. stereotype and [[Hilarity Ensues|played for laughs]].

* ''[[Big Fish]]''

* ''[[Where the Heart Is]]''

* ''[[Harold and Kumar|Harold and Kumar: Escape From Guantanamo Bay]]'' features the titular duo staying with a couple who initially appear to subvert the stereotypes. They don't seem to mind the duo's ethnicity and even help the two of hide from government agents. They also make a joke about how "they keep their inbred son in the basement when they have company. However, {{spoiler|then it turns out they were serious, and they [[Brother-Sister Incest|are brother and sister]].}}

* The character of Wooderson from ''Dazed and Confused'' seems to inhabit this trope, although the rest of the film isn't particularly like this. (It's set in Austin, Texas.)

== [[Live-Action TV]] ==

* [[The McCoy|Dr. McCoy]] of ''[[Star Trek]]'' has a slight Southern accent (which was DeForest Kelley's natural accent; he was from Atlanta) and is a self-described "simple country doctor" from the "Old South" where he attended the University of Mississippi. He is presumably from this version of the South.

* Mayberry, North Carolina in ''[[The Andy Griffith Show]]''.

* ''[[Evening Shade]]''.

* When ''[[The Dukes of Hazzard]]'' wasn't making the characters ridiculous characters it was showing the sense of honor and hospitality people have in the Southern US.

 

== [[Music]] ==

* "Georgia on My Mind" by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell, made famous by [[Ray Charles]], which was made the official state song in 1979, although originally written about Carmichael's sister, Georgia Carmichael.

* Phil Harris' song "That's What I Like About The South" is filled to the brim (of the mint julep) with this.

** Likewise, "My Old Kentucky Home" does the same for Kentucky.

* Too many [[Country Music]] songs to count.

 

== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==

 

== [[Video Games]] ==

** Taking it one step further, the [[Trope Namer]] song loads up on Jimmy's jukebox during the infamous [[Bar Fight]].
