Off the Wall in Bisbee"

Desperation the Movie has been filmed in Bisbee, soon to be released.

I'm not talking about Tombstone which is in a class of its own.
I mean, there are more movies about the OK corral than I care to count (not to mention that Star Trek where Jim Kirk shot it out with the Klingons).

I'm talking about original films.
Bisbee has been chosen many times as a film site because.
of its unique atmosphere. I BELIEVE BISBEE HAS BEEN CHOSEN MORE than any other small town.
We should never forget Douglas and Judge Roy Beam,
but Bisbee has had so many films produced using its background that I can't name them all. Can you?

This is an informal competition with no official ending date.
I dare anyone to list all the films--filmed in their town of less than 15000.
people and compare them to the growing Bisbee list.
I'll be surprised if it exceeds the number filmed in Bisbee between the two films Violent Saturday and Roswell.
I may extent this to beyond Roswell If you dare me to do that!

If you send me a reply with sound documentation I will post it as part of the contest.

BISBEE WILL WIN THIS COMPETITION.
REMEMBER 15000 PEOPLE OR LESS BETWEEN AND INCLUDING VIOLENT SATURDAY AND ROSWELL.
There will be a California handicap because of the proximity to Hollywood.
