Well I figured there would be like a film from your town or something that really is like a “this is for us” type of thing lol…
Ok, that's true. Growing up in the Dallas, Texas area we had the tv show Dallas of course. And then there was North Dallas Forty, which was a satire/parody of the Dallas Cowboys. The problem with a lot of shows and movies about Texas is they are so ridiculously exaggerated about the "rebel, cowboy spirit" like Walker Texas Ranger, that I'm not actually much of a fan. Or they are about rodeos and oil wells, which is not exactly anything I gave a darn about.
Probably the closest thing to an "everyone in Texas has to know and love this movie" is The Alamo with John Wayne. Of course, then growing up I learned all about the problematic history of the Texas Revolution and the Alamo lol, so it kind of ruined that, but hey it's a good movie if you can shut off your brain I guess.
I always identified more with stories about underdog kids going on some big adventure. Goonies, The Last Starfighter, The Neverending Story, Bad News Bears, ET, etc. Those were the movies I loved most growing up, or considered "mine".
Edit: Oh! I do love me some King of the Hill though!! Mike Judge lived just a few miles from my house when he was coming up with the idea for KotH so I am 99% sure Hank is based partly on my dad. Which makes me Bobby of course...
