Ten Memorable Movies Set in Colorado but Not Filmed Here

We're using the word "memorable" instead of "best" for a reason: While some of these flicks are great, others range from "Meh" to "Damn my eyes!" But all of them will stick in your mind, even if the supposedly local scenery isn't so local. Check out all ten below, complete with posters, actual locations and descriptions courtesy of IMDB.

IMDB description: "Two brothers travel to Germany for Oktoberfest, only to stumble upon secret, centuries-old competition described as a 'Fight Club' with beer games."

IMDB description: "From out of the sky, Soviet, Nicaraguan, and Cuban troops begin landing on the football field of a Colorado high school. In seconds, the paratroopers have attacked the school and sent a group of teenagers fleeing into the mountains. Armed only with hunting rifles, pistols, and bows and arrows, the teens struggle to survive the bitter winter and the Soviet KGB patrols hunting for them. Eventually, trouble arises when they kill a group of Soviet soldiers on patrol in the highlands. Soon they will wage their own guerrilla warfare against the invading Soviet troops-under the banner of 'Wolverines!'"

IMDB description: "Nicky and Tacy are going to be married. Nicky wants to save up money for a house, but Tacy dreams of starting off with their own home on wheels—a trailer.

Soon afterwards, the men who were in the lynch mob start being murdered, one after another; all by hanging. Who will be killed next and who is responsible? Is it one of the original party seeking to cover their accursed deed, or perhaps the mysterious Rev. Jonathan Rudd, who has recently arrived in town?"

IMDB description: "The classic stage hit gets the Hollywood treatment in the story of Elwood P. Dowd who makes friends with a spirit taking the form of a human-sized rabbit named Harvey that only he sees (and a few privileged others on occasion also.)

It is then that he decides to fight back, leading his fellow man in one final struggle for freedom."

IMDB description: "A group of reporters who are trying to decipher the last word ever spoke by Charles Foster Kane, the millionaire newspaper tycoon: 'Rosebud.'
