What is the entertainment industry’s fascination with small-town movies and shows? To that end, what is our (the viewer’s) fascination with small-town movies and shows?
Is it familiarity we feel when watching? A connection with the characters? The hope and comfort that a small town can bring. It could be any number of these things. But the idea of a place where everyone knows one another and will pitch in to help you no matter what is comforting to most people, even if it’s not your current way of life.
That’s why My Town wanted to share with you our My Town Movie Reviews. A place to give ideas and perspectives on movies and shows encompassing what you love most about small-town culture. And it is another way for My Town to share our love of Small-Town Content with you!
Small Town Culture Resonates With Viewers
Yes, small-town living has its advantages and disadvantages, just like living in the city. But I find it interesting how many shows depict the “ideal” small-town setting, the somewhat quirky nature of its residents, and, of course, a boy gets girl or a save-the-town scenario! Not to mention a heavy focus on small business, family, and community involvement. All values that many individuals share and cherish.
Small Town Movies Will Keep Coming
Of course, from an economic perspective, it makes sense that a large number of movies with these themes are being produced. This is simply because people watch. Viewers across the country don’t just identify with small-town characters; they want to watch something that makes them feel good. They want to know that places exist where people still take time to say hello and have you over for dinner. I personally have always resonated with the “can-do” attitudes of characters in small-town shows. I find myself dreaming up scenarios and being inspired while watching someone perform a good deed for another person or their community.
Continuing To Share Small Town Content
In any event, our love of small-town movies and shows is not changing. Which means the concept will continue to thrive- I think Hallmark Channel & Great American Family alone prove that!
I hope you enjoy the movies My Town shares on this page. Movies that show a love of small-town culture and values and are also safe for the entire family to watch. A significant component of our content sharing will also be the REAL-LIFE filming locations of small towns featured in films and shows. We love sharing small towns to visit with our audience and increasing small-town tourism.
