At the time of La La Land’s release, director Damien Chazelle named these 10 films as his favorite movies set in Los Angeles. “Each captures a distinct time, place and feeling in Southern California history and culture, and each reminds me of why I love movies in the first place.”

Lionsgate have shared this list with Letterboxd for the occasion of La La Land’s free Lionsgate Live screening, Friday 1 May 2020, 6:00pm PT/9:00pm ET.
