Normally, you wouldn't think of Wyoming as a hotbed for big budget Hollywood movies. However, you might be surprised how many legendary films have either been filmed in, or based in, our great state.

In fact, at least six films filmed in Wyoming have gone on to win Academy Awards. That number is likely to rise next year, when famed director Quentin Tarantino releases his new Wyoming based western The Hateful Eight.
