Considering that this isn't New York or Hollywood, Arizona has had its fair share of movies filmed here, if not in whole, at least in part. The unique environment of the Desert Southwest makes Arizona a popular state for movie production. If a film involves sand, cowboys, the Grand Canyon, Wyatt Earp or red rock country you can pretty much assume that Arizona will be involved in the filming! Here are some movies that have been filmed in Arizona. How many have you seen? Can you tell which parts of these movies were filmed in Arizona?
