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 seriously doubt I know a movie that YOU haven't seen. But we just saw "The Kids Are All Right", and that was obviously shot here. So was "Greenberg". And "Yes Man"!

The Big Lebowski! I can't believe I forgot that one. One of my favorites.
Varius just sent me a link to this trailer (yet another one filmed right here):
