You always have interesting info to share. I didn't realize so many movies had been filmed in NM, but there's certainly enough beautiful scenery there to take advantage of.
This was quite a list. Contact is one of my family's favorites.
You forgot to put "Twins" and "Santa Fe" (a movie set in Santa Fe about a survivor of a religious cult who falls in love with a Marianne Williamson type of spiritual guru). I love Santa Fe and want to see it star in more films.
