The Oscars are almost here and the movie, “That Evening Sun” that has gotten some attention, was filmed right there in our neck of the woods. I think primarily in and around Knoxville and Roane County. Anyway, I will probably watch it the first chance I get just to see if anything looks familiar. Which brings to mind a question --- are there any movies that remind you of Loudon and the surrounding area, either the way it is now or the way it used to be? They don't have to be filmed near Loudon, just remind you of it.
I can name a few.
Wild River. A 50s movie that dealt with damming the Tennessee River.
Deliverance. Not the “squeal like a pig” part, but the scenery.
October Sky.
The Legend of Boggie Creek. But without the monster.
Thunder Road.
Foxfire. John Denver, Hume Cronin and Jessica Tandy
The Education of Little Tree.
Can you think of any more?
