I am the son, brother, and uncle of teachers.  You will never find anyone more pro-teacher than me.  So, any time I come across someone doing something great for our teachers, you can bet I'm bringing it to your attention.  So how about this?  Before our teachers really get back into the school year, Cinergy Dine-In Cinemas is offering all teachers a free movie.  And not just one.

Cinergy Dine-In Cinemas is located at 5336 Docia Crossing Road.  From August 7 to 14, teachers just need bring an ID proving their educational vocation and a free movie is available every day of that week!

Not only that, but Cinergy is the kind of spot you want to see the best that Hollywood has to offer.  Their theaters are equipped with fully reclinable seats and as their name suggests, in-theater dining.  Further, you don't have to leave your theater seat to order your food.  At Cinergy Dine-In Cinemas, you order right from your recliner.  Then your food is delivered to you.

How great is that, teachers?  Someone seeing to YOUR needs for once?!

North Carolina may not be the first state that comes to your mind when you think of film production. And yes we aren't New York or California but that doesn't mean some fantastic movies weren't filmed in North Carolina. While Hollywood gets the glamour and notoriety, plenty of iconic films have been shot all over the United States. And this certainly includes North Carolina. I'm not a movie buff, though I do enjoy watching them from time to time. Mainly when I have the attention span and time! And honestly, the first film that came to my mind when I saw this list, well actually I don't think it was made in North Carolina at all. And it wasn't filmed because it's animated.

My mind instantly went to the Disney classic "Cars". Even more surprising? I've never seen it. I just remember hearing about it when they did the premiere at Charlotte Motor Speedway. But don't worry, I did think of one that actually shot in North Carolina (and made this list)- Dirty Dancing. I'm sure you know that the classic 80's film was shot at Lake Lure, NC. But is it the best one to come out of the state? Our friends at BetCarolina have it ranked high, but not first. BetCarolina.com compiled a list of movies filmed in North Carolina and ranked them based on a point system.

This point system uses IMDb rating, Rotten Tomatoes Audience and Critics' Scores, and Oscars recognition to rank the top 10 movies shot in North Carolina. Did your favorite make the list? Number one is definitely a beloved film North Carolina can be proud of! Keep reading to see the top films. You can read the full study by BetCarolina here.
