Thanks, Alex, you are currect. It's been a while since I've seen the full movie, but the pieces I saw on cable a couple of weeks ago showed the facade of Lamar, which made me think of that immediately. My high school (in Pearland) has never been in the movies, as far as I know. However, I do know that the 1981 horror film Student Bodies included a parade scene featured the Pearland High School Band, the funeral scene in Urban Cowboy was shot in South Park Cemetery, and a neighborhood in P-ville was used in Arlington Road.

Give me Shelley Duvall's first film, 1970's Brewster McCloud. On 5 December 1970, a record 23,930 people attended the premiere of the movie at the Houston Astrodome.
