Canton latched onto the Hollywood nickname because parts of "A Time to Kill" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" were filmed there. The white-columned Madison County Courthouse sits at the center of its town square. For a month leading into Christmas, some 200,000 lights are strung overhead and on trees around the courthouse, and plate-glass windows around the square are decorated with reindeer, toys and images of Santa Claus.
