The hunting scenes in The Deerhunter are beautiful...from Washington State

One of the best was "The River of No Return" with Marilyn Monroe and Rory Calhoun, Robert Mitchum, and Tommy Retig

Dances With Wolves

and another vote for "Last of The Mohicans" which was most definitly filmed in North Carolina, regardless of where it may have been set, it was filmed in NC.

Fall foliage never looked as gorgeous as is does in Hitchcock's "The Trouble With Harry".

"The New World" had some of the best scenic shots ever put to film. Shame about the rest of the movie.

I noticed a few people mentioned Pete Jackson's "King Kong" - you do realise that King Kong was shot on a sound stage, right?

There are some great films mentioned here, and I'd add an average film with terrific scenery: the slasher flick "Just Before Dawn."

Continental Divide
Thelma and Louise
Stagecoach (any of the John Ford films, really)
Days of Heaven (Terrence Malick has a great eye)
Legends of the Fall
North by Northwest
The Secret of Roan Inish (Ireland, what can I say)
Love Song for Bobby Long (not scenery in the traditional sense, but incredible cinematography, set in New Orleans).
Those are just off the top of my head.

Or the opening scene in Carrie, many hills plus massive, untamed bushes.
