Top 25 Films About Los Angeles

I came across this list of the top 25 films about Los Angeles in the last 25 years. It was posted in the LA Times with the subheading: "The city has been a main character in many films. Our film crew picks the best. It's a tough list to crash."

I've seen most of the movies, but there are a few I need to throw on my ever-expanding Netflix queue.

Here is the list, but I'd recommend reading the full-article to read some interesting tidbits about each film.

4. Boyz N the Hood (1991).

Good movie.


Crash last? I heard it was good, but I haven't seen it yet. It's on my movie list (and my hard drive). I'll get to it soon.

By the way, I think I spent the past 3 hours on this blog.
