The only movie I ever asked my parents to see. My mom was raised on a farm. Not this kind of farm.

Days of Heaven — Sam Shepard
Days of Heaven (1978), directed by Terrence Malick, is known for its stunning cinematography and the breathtaking landscapes that serve as a backdrop to its story. The film was primarily shot in the United States, with locations including:
The Texas Panhandle – Much of the film was shot in the wide, flat plains of Texas, capturing the beauty of the open countryside. Specific locations include the area around Amarillo, Lubbock, and Pampa, which helped convey the film's rustic, harsh, and expansive landscape.
The Texas Hill Country – Some scenes were filmed in the rolling hills and small towns of central Texas, such as around Fredericksburg and Johnson City, which provided a contrast to the vast, open plains.
The Canadian River (also in Texas) – This area was used for certain riverbank scenes that emphasize the natural beauty and the rough terrain of the film's setting.
The cinematography, overseen by Néstor Almendros, is often praised for capturing the beauty of these locations, with many scenes filmed during the "golden hour" to create a soft, glowing light. The film’s visual style and its use of natural landscapes are central to its atmosphere and tone.
Additionally, some scenes were shot on location in Canada, notably some of the interior farm scenes, but the bulk of the outdoor scenes were filmed in the American Southwest.
