85. "Empire Falls" is a pretty good depiction of small town Maine.

It's about a decaying town with lots of pride and sense of place. I have a soft spot for "The Whales of August" (great cast: Bette Davis, Lillian Gish, Ann Sothern, Vincent Price) because it was shot in an area that I know well (Cliff Island near Portland.) It's about long time summer people in a year-round island community.

For my longtime adopted home, the Boston area, I'd say that "Mystic River" captured the dynamic of the older neighborhoods in and around the city.
