Movies filmed in Arizona, Movies filmed in America

Lifetime Movies produce some of the best stories I've seen on the tube, no kidding. Great stuff. BUT, ( you knew it was coming) none of it is filmed here. All Canada, or the UK.
     Understand, those two countries produce GREAT television. I have come to appreciate their new brand of television series and movies. Love them, check them out on On Demand, like Wallander.
     However, none of Lifetime is filmed here. I can't find ONE.
     Tucson, Arizona had been the sunshine capital for movie producers who loved the "clean, pure sunshine" - one told me so on location.
     " Do What YOU HAVE HERE? Clean, pure unadulterated sun light coming straight in to the
desert floor, unfiltered. Perfect for the camera."  That director - Claude Le Louche.
     No more movies here in Arizona, either? All have moved to New Mexico. They have cut taxes to the movie companies to the bone. So, when you see a western with dialogue spouting Arizona names?  Chances are, it's filmed in New Mexico.
     Reason, the Arizona government has taxed itself right out of the lucrative revenue it once had a lock on - good old fasioned greed.
