What's your favorite movie that takes place in Los Angeles?

This discussion can include movies about Los Angeles or movies that were obviously shot in Los Angeles. I just saw Inception and all of the downtown areas were shot in Downtown LA very close to where I live. I also love LA Story. There's another I'm thinking of... Collateral. This movie centers around a cab driver (Jamie Fox) that works the Los Angeles streets. What do you guys think? Gimme some movie titles that I haven't seen yet....

I liked 500 Days of Summer. It showed that LA does have some great architecture. I also love how a lot of disaster movies take place in LA! 2012, Volcano, Skyline, Battle LA. In the movie Volcano, my street had to evacuate!

I love "500 Days of Summer"! I live downtown and it shows off all of my stomping grounds :)
