Alright swingers! What’s up, boyz and valley girls? It’s the third Showdown devoted to an entire city (after New York and Paris). While the streets outside are quiet and we’re in a lonely place, let’s honor the sunny, sprawling and complex City of Angels. List your ten favorite films set in Los Angeles—and we do mean set in, not just filmed on a lot somewhere within county limits. Whether Hollywood melodrama, sci-fi fantasy, indie comedy, hard-boiled noir or high-speed action flick, Los Angeles has played itself so well over a century of cinema. Training day is over; it’s time to be a player.
