I saw this new list of the Top ten Movies Set in L.A. and thought it deserved sharing. Personally, I think that the 1997 Tommy Lee Jones film, Volcano, should be on every "top movies set in L.A." list. Any others?

Clearly the native angelino who put that list together never bothered to learn his/her native lands boundaries, for if he/she had, they never would have included Beverly Hills Cop in a list of movies set in LA
The Big Lebowski
Heat
Point Break
And yes, Volcano is a great bad movie, made greater b/c it takes place in LA.
Falling Down was OK, but it's hard to believe he does all that walking in one day, especially with all the stops he makes.
no question: My Family (Mi Familia) wins the award for most quintessential L.A. movie. Edward James Olmos tells the stories exactly right and every scene is oozing L.A.
And how can anyone forget LA Story with Steve Martin? LA as a romantic city? Who knew?
I seriously cannot believe The Big Lebowski was left off that list. And hello, SHORT CUTS?
Here's a forgotten 70s movie recently dug up by the Cinematheque: Cisco Pike
Shows Hollywood in all its fading glory in the 1970s.
