Valentine’s Day is next week and to commemorate the impending Holiday, which is somewhat scrutinized by singles as a Hallmark holiday, the analysts at CableTV.com created a national report revealing each state’s favorite romantic comedy film.
Report highlights include:
- Over one in every four states chooses Pretty in Pink as their rom-com top choice! All hail, John Hughes.
- Everyone likes a movie that hails from their hometown: every one in seven states most enjoys movies filmed in their state the most.
- We found predictable patterns of viewing behavior — clusters of romantic comedies dominate certain areas of the country.
- Some popular favorites by state enforce regional clichés that are just too good to pass up commenting on:
- Maine, which has the oldest median age in the United States, goes old school with It Happened One Night.
- Oregon keeps it weird with Amélie, a quirky French film about an off-beat romance.
- South Dakota, which rates in the top five highest birth rates in the U.S., gets Knocked Up a little more often.
- Maine, which has the oldest median age in the United States, goes old school with It Happened One Night.
To determine each state’s favorite romantic comedy film, the Cable TV analyst team used a Google-generated list of top rom-coms and ran them through Google Trends to find out which movies see the most love from state to state.
