Movies or books about SD to suggest?

We are spending several days in South dakota on a trip across the USA. Are there any good films that have featured South Dakota? Are there any novels that would give us a flavor of the state. We have seen the ';Deadwood'; series. Thanks.

I think Thunderheart with Val Kilmer takes place in and around the Badlands.




Although I have not seen it, some of the movie Hidalgo was filmed at the Wild Horse Sanctuary in Hot Springs, which is in the southern Black Hills.




Ooh-how about the old Calamity Jane movie with Doris Day and Howard Keel? Not sure if you can find that on DVD but may be worth trying!




For non-fiction there is Mari Sandoz%26#39; biography of Crazy Horse.
