You don’t need to hike the Oregon Film Trail to know that there are a lot of great movies made in Oregon. But how do some of the classics hold up? On this week’s episode of the Peak Northwest podcast, we take a fresh look at three filmed-in-Oregon classics that are celebrating milestones this year. From a famous 100-year-old silent film to a 15-year-old western, this trio of movies represents a century of filmmaking in Oregon. They highlight some of the state’s most beautiful places, including roaring rivers and arid high desert plains. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: Why Cottage Grove still celebrates “The General.” A whole generation of Oregonians loved “Stand By Me.” Does it hold up today? Why “Meek’s Cutoff” is one of the best Oregon Trail movies ever made. “Twilight” and “The Hunted” are still worth your time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
