Gosling is trash in La La Land

I dig Lars and the Real Girl and Half Nelson, also like Drive well enough

Gosling outshines suspect writing and direction in La La Land.

All three movies you listed are however amazing.

La La Land is the most LA-precious movie I've ever seen and it's also one of the worst movies I've ever watched

I think movies about Hollywood and movie making are different than movies about LA. LA is a big city with a lot of different cultures.

For example there's a whole subset of films about the black experience in LA and its surrounding areas that I wouldn't perceive as "LA precious"

it's set there, but is it precious about LA?

isn't the point of the movie that LA is a corrupt and gross city and Jake should write it off?

I think it's a reflection on trying to fight corruption in general with the water wars as a historical backdrop, but the antagonist who is a powerbroker in LA does some truly heinous shit so I don't know how shows any reverence of the city at all

yeah i suppose what i mean is that we are supposed to care because it's LA and water is important and shit

Sunset Boulevard

The Player

For silly ones:

Hollywood Shuffle

State and Main (not set in Hollywood but about Hollywood)

Bowfinger (it was meant to be completely ridiculous)

yes, Boyz in the Hood and Friday are all-time great LA flicks
 
La La Land is definitely a better movie than the movie that won the Oscar for Best Picture that year.
 
The Fast and The Furious is what LA is all about. Also, Speed.
 
is there a movie dearer to the heart of the ASD;BC than Caddyshack?

perhaps Rudy for the more serious among them

Caddyshack is the greatest.

Caddyshack II, not so much.
 
Forrest Gump is the ultimate boomer porn, and whose parents on here didn't own the soundtrack
