Fargo was attributed to a different state.
Yeah, but it was fucking filmed in Minnesota. I live rather close to where the car dealership used to be. It's now Best Buy HQ.
EDIT: Winter's Bone? What the fuck is that movie? I'm not exactly a film slouch and I've never heard of it.
Winter's Bone is a 2010 American independent drama film, an adaptation of Daniel Woodrell's 2006 novel of the same name. Written and directed by Debra Granik, the film stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teenaged girl in the rural Ozarks of the central United States who, to protect her family from eviction, must locate her missing father. The film explores the interrelated themes of close and distant family ties, the power and speed of gossip, self-sufficiency, and poverty as they are changed by the pervasive underworld of illegal methamphetamine labs.
Ah, chick flick. That's why. That beats Planes, Trains, and Automobiles?

According to wikipedia
Principal photography on Fargo began on January 25, 1995 in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. However, due to the region's unusually mild winter that year, the crew moved locations on March 9 to Hallock, Minnesota to find more suitably snow-covered landscapes for the film's winter setting. A second unit under the direction of Roger Deakins filmed near Bathgate, North Dakota where the film's Paul Bunyan statue was constructed.[10] In some scenes, artificial snow had to be created as pools and streams of meltwater are visible.[citation needed] Despite the film's title, no scenes were filmed in or near Fargo, North Dakota.
So technically it was filmed in North Dakota, but primarily in Minnesota, so that thing is just wrong.
None would suck to be assigned to your state though.
Did anyone else notice Jumanji is in there?

I was in college when I saw it. I saw it in the theatre, not long after coming back from Mexico. It was so awesome I watched it twice. It was a fun kids movie, and I loved the animals and the flooding, etc. I need to share it with my children some day.

Because the hundred or so scattered throughout northern Minnesota didn't work?
