Anyone from Maryland?

I went to www.imdb.com to search for films set in Maryland, and I found one recognizable movie that was set and filmed entirely in Maryland: The Blair Witch Project. I don't know whether or not you've heard of it, but if not, I won't tell you much about it other than that it's a thriller/horror movie that mostly takes place in the woods, and it was an independent film. This movie works best as a spooky film if you know as little as possible about it before you watch it. I couldn't find any others that seemed to have a lot of scenes in Maryland; in As Good As It Gets there's a part near the end where some characters go to Baltimore, but it wasn't actually filmed in Maryland (but it's a good movie, anyway).

As for books, I searched a little more online and found a series of books set in Maryland by a romance novelist named Nora Roberts. The first one is called Sea Swept. I haven't read any of her books, but if you like romance novels you might like her because she's pretty popular.

I thought I'd add a little more information to what distinguishes a college and university. What I've heard is that a college is a place that only offers undergraduate (i.e. Bachelor's) programs, and a university offers both undergraduate and graduate (i.e. Master's) programs. I'd also agree with what everyone else said.

P.S. Whoa, I just noticed your name is Laura, same as my sister's. Not that big of a coincidence, but I thought I'd mention it.

Blair Witch Project, is set wholly in Maryland. That sound kinda good. Too bad its a horror movie, 'cos Im quite much "an anti horror person"... But As Good as it Gets sounds familiar actually, too bad it wasnt actually filemed in Maryland, but maybe I could see it anyway. As for books, Ive sertainly herad of Nora Roberts. I kinda like romance novels and have actually concided reading a Nora Robets. I would better try Sea Swept then

THANKYOU FOR THE HELP NOME!!!! Does anybody else have any suggestions about films/books?

John Waters was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1946. For those of you who don't know, Maryland can be a pretty strange place to grow up. Luckily for John, 1960's Baltimore had a few saving graces. Here he would meet the men and women willing to work in front of and behind the camera on his self-written, self-produced and independently financed movies. Although Baltimore has become a bit yuppified over the past 20 years, you can still visit Bob Adams' Fells Point thrift store Flashbacks for an autographed picture of the Egg Man, or check out Waters' Walk of Fame in front of the Senator Theater.

Consider Hirspray first.

I have been chastized by a friend for recommending John Waters' twisted sense of humor. I don't know if "cult movie" translates in Finnish. But that is Waters' genre.

Other more innocent movies are:

"Sleepless in Seattle", with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan, is set in Baltimore, Maryland and Seattle, Washington.
"Home for the Hollidays", with Holly Hunter, is set in Balimore as well

Thanx Moravia. I just wonder if any of the Waters movies can be foun in libraries/video rent places here in Finland. Gotta check... Are they really all set in Maryland?

As for Sleapless in Seattle, I saw it some time ago. Too bad it focused more on Seattle... Home for the Holidays I havent hear of.
