Famous film locations in Los Angeles
The movies have used Los Angeles' chameleon qualities to their advantage because Los Angeles is the ultimate stand-in for Manhattan, Japan, England and even Hawaii. Movie directors shot their blockbuster movies all over LA, from historic landmarks to baseball lots to private homes, to museums to parks and hotels, to even the streets of LA.
Santa Monica Pier (Forrest Gump), Millennium Biltmore Hotel (Pretty in Pink), Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History (Spiderman 2002), are just some of the memorable movie locations filmed in Los Angeles. Click the links below for more of LA's film locations.
