>L.A., even more so than any other American city, obscures, sometimes neglects, its own history. But that can also be its own magical thing, because it's a city that reveals itself bit by bit, like an onion, if you take the time to explore it.

Kitchen Nightmares since 99% of the people who go to LA end up working as a waitress.

i don't even remember if any scenes were set in L.A, but this is still the best california film.

>>81538866
...so Shrek?

boyz n the hood maybe? bill & ted? san dimas isn't much of a place

>>81539242
San Dimas is such an insignificant place that the movie was shot mostly in Phoenix.

The Big Lebowski

none since they changed the color of the street lights

>>81538866
yeah but onions stink and make you cry when you cut into them...
oh wait

>>81539178
Primarily the San Francisco area, not L.A.

>>81538135
Greenberg was actually quite an accurate portrayal of the vapid subhumans who live in Los Angeles

Repo Man
To Live and die in LA
Falling Down
Collateral??

>>81538174
nah that's if you want the San Fran experience. I think it captured th spirit of that city better than LA

Sunset Blvd.

>everyone posting movies with white actors

There are literally no white people who live in LA

They all live in surrounding towns like the Palisades or Brentwood but you will not find a single white person in the heart of LA

LA ONDA DON'T SHINE NO SHOES!!

>>81538222
theres an L.A. street gang called Nazi Lowriders

the members are 'white' mexicans

Tangerine.

>>81548728
That's because you only notice non-whites since they bother you. There are plenty of Caucasians in L.A. proper.

>>81549331
*since it bothers you

Wrong choice of words on my part

>>81540517

He's twisting his analysis to fit his point.

>>81538406
Cam to post this. Captures daytime and night time LA very well. Movies that glamorize even the nicer parts of the city get it so wrong. Drive wasn't bad either, but there just isn't enough traffic in that movie to be accurate.

Pretty good Venice area movie.

>>81538135
Do you think it was annoying spending months learning dances?

I would never sign on for a musical movie.

>>81538176
>Nazi Lowriders
>>81538222
There were real white street gangs in L.A. up until the 60's that much I know. I don't know what happen to them. My guess the Crips and Bloods were too much for them. Hells Angels started in Pasadena.

>>81539178
How have I not seen this with this fucking cast

LA confidential?

I haven't seen it, just assuming..

Is Pain & Gain set in LA? Because one way or the other it gave me LA feels.

>>81538155
Was going to say this.

>>81547866
No actual LA cops have that much fun copping

>>81550597
I've been there desu. Just liked the atmosphere of that film.

>>81538234
Tell me why.

>How have I not seen this with this fucking cast
I will say this Ruffalo is actually very good. I don't know what happen to his acting.

I thought it was Miami?

Heat and Collateral

Hobos

It's a nice city to visit now and then, but unless you're living in the hills, it's not that great.

>>81551363
Ah that's right. I think it's just that they both have that superficial vibe.

>>81547807
>>81538135
Collateral

>>81549331

The ones who work in the buildings Downtown don't count since they are the ones who live in the upper class suburbs I mentioned. The only ones I can think of are the USC students who live in gated and guarded areas.

I went to the LA area once, ive lived in northern california my whole life. We walked down the hollywood strip with all the stars on the ground. A fat homeless black girl had passed out and vomited all over the sidewalk.

I dont ever need to go back

>>81551473

> Traffic
I take the train so it's never bothered me

>Trash
Only the areas around South central are shit holes filled with blacks and mexicans

>Hobos
There isn't a goddamn place on this planet where you won't find homeless people

>Weather
Trust me, compared to fucking Florida or the Midwest our weather is heavenly. Summers aren't too hellishly hot and winters aren't freezing cold

lmao there's a reason people who actually live in LA stay the hell away from that tourist trap

The weather is fan fuckin tastic in LA. Nice, dry heat.

Last time I went to LA I made out with some really hot coked out slut who was grinding on me all night until her boyfriend(?) dragged her off
Pretty good trip really. I need to go back

Colors

Fast Times at Ridgemont High - early 80s Valley/mall culture
They Live - mid to late 80s depressed Downtown LA vibe
Falling Down - fucked up early 90s gang-ridden LA
Speed - to get the geography of LA
Swingers - mid-90s bar scene/struggling actor experience
Nightcrawler - seedy side of LA

Also, it doesn't really fit, but I think I Love You, Man is one of the most LA movies to come out recently. There's a lot of on-location filming that I think does a pretty good job of capturing the city as a whole.

>>81553284
that List is kino.
L.A. in the 70s:
i'd add Boogie Nights and Inherent Vice in there.
L.A.'s hedonism, portayed through the rise of porn industry in Boogie Nights and the paranoia in Inherent Vice capture some nice facets of the myth "L.A". Chinatown should be there too, displaying corruption of morals and the the dark economic roots of L.A.
