Idaho has everything a filmmaker could want to use in their films: mountains, whitewater, dusty back roads, farms, lava flows and quaint towns. These are some of the films that took advantage of that!

Out of all of these, Napoleon Dynamite is our favorite, without a doubt. 

So what's with this buzz online about the movie which is now over a decade old? It seems that a documentary of sorts has surfaced and it offers a behind-the-scenes look to a movie that captured the hearts of Idahoans.
