The Old Dominion State is the official nickname of Virginia. The nickname was earned by the loyalty of Virginia to the Royalist cause during the English Civil War and afterward, during the English Commonwealth. The moniker was given by King Charles II in recognition of Virginia's loyalty to the Crown, after the Restoration (source: statesymbolsusa.org). Virginia became the 10th state of the United States of America in 1788. These movies have a connection with Virginia. They are (partially) filmed there or it's a topic in the story.
