Movies

- 1987 - a gangster film called the Verne Miller Story (released on video entitled Gangland) starring Scott Glenn.
- 2001 - Rustin (starring Meat Loaf and Zachary Ty Bryan).
While neither of these films did very well in the Box Office or the eyes of critics and moviegoers, you can see a lot of what Springville, Alabama looks like in the latter of the two.
