How many other films do you know that are "set" near, actually take place in, or originate from...?

Question

......Los Alamos, NM.? For instance, in the 1984 film Repo Man the plot technically begins in Los Alamos, NM. In the 2010 film Let the Right One In, the story takes place IN a town called Los Alamos,NM. Aside from those two films (please do not include them in your listing as you will disqualify yourself from being selected for the correct answer), what other films are you aware of that are set in, connected to, or whose story line begins in Los Alamos, NM?

Update:

That should read "...In the 2010 film LET ME IN, the story takes place....etc etc"

sorry any confusion.

Billy Jack (1971) ~ some scenes filmed there (I don't recall if they say the name in the movie.)

The Atomic City (1952) 
IMDb synopsis:
At Los Alamos, New Mexico, the maximum-security "atomic city" of U.S. nuclear-weapons research, top atomic scientist Frank Addison has a normal, middle-American life with his wife and son...until the boy is kidnapped by enemy agents to extort H-bomb secrets. Result, a fast moving chase thriller with some parental soul-searching.

True dat.  The movie you're thinking of is called "Let Me In."  It's a pointless and inferior remake of the 2008 Swedish film "Let the RIght One In."

Valles Caldera (near Los Alamos) is the set of many Western movies, including The Gambler, Buffalo Girls, and The Missing.

"Fat Man and Little Boy"

David · Answer

Let the Right One In is set in the western Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg, sir.  Which is not New Mexico.

So you've disqualified yourself.

EDIT: Of course he clearly meant Let Me In.  But he chose to phrase this question rather severely, so he got called on it.
