Mulholland Drive...

GTA San Andreas

American History Ten

Street kings

...

>Nazi skinhead
>in Los Angeles
Nice joke user

Repo Man

LA has to be the worst place to live in on earth.

L.A Confidential

This.

Mulholland Drive

Chinatown

Crank with Jason Statham

>dishonest film
>capturing the L.A. experience

'no'

Heat

Nightcrawler

>implying LA isn't a dishonest city

>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.

Escape from LA

Drive unironically

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

...so Shrek?

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

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

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

Primarily the San Francisco area, not L.A.

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??

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

Sunset Blvd.

Idiocracy

This desu

hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-la-land-disappoints-bigoted-race-portrayal-childish-romance-975786

This is Bay Area kino.

Not this.

Barton Fink

are there any where you're surrounded by millions of ugly Mexicans and all their kids and you're disgusted?

Elysium

something about this .gif makes me feel grossed out

Yeah, it's a shitty gif. I wanted to post a nicer one, but it was above the 4 MB limit.

Pulp Fiction and Big Lebowski.

Mulholland Drive

...

>Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs is a better movie

fucking good movie

Altman is tremendously underrated by pseud cinephiles

This

Too Late

killer of sheep

...

nightcrawler

>Collateral
Pure kino

certainly not La Land

Stop posting this shit, faggot. No one cares.

everything from BLACKED.com

Knight of Cups is the only answer.

Anything by Michael Mann set in the L.A.

eww

End of Watch

>hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-la-land-disappoints-bigoted-race-portrayal-childish-romance-975786

>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Ah........Ok! But can never win with these fucking people.

>pretensious
>shallow
>boring
>self important


yup Hollywood.

Not necessarily LA. Perhaps from the poc of Hollywood/Brentwood rich types.

>POV

Yes those are the characters in Knight of Cups

>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

Pic related is the most accurate depiction of LA life, Wassup Rockers

LA ONDA DON'T SHINE NO SHOES!!

theres an L.A. street gang called Nazi Lowriders

the members are 'white' mexicans

Tangerine.

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

*since it bothers you

Wrong choice of words on my part

nice freudian slip, cuck

This

Repo Man

He's twisting his analysis to fit his point.

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.

Do you think it was annoying spending months learning dances?

I would never sign on for a musical movie.

>Nazi Lowriders
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.

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.

Was going to say this.

No actual LA cops have that much fun copping

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

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.

>Pain & Gain
I thought it was Miami?

Heat and Collateral

Traffic, I guees.

Swingers

Traffic
Trash
Hobos
Hot all the goddamn time

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

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

Collateral

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

> 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

>Hollywood strip

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

Heat and To live and Die in L.A

>muh Nightcrawler

The underage is strong

They're both superficial cities with fake people

>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
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
