1. Crank 2: High Voltage
The only place in the world where there is a lingering threat that Jason Statham will grease up a shotgun and shove it in your ass. I typed this listing two months ago and I just now realized how dirty that sounded. |
|
|
2. Falling Down
Ex-Military people will gun you down if it means that they'll get to their daughter's birthday party on time. Also, Nazis who work in army surplus stores and don't even get me started on the breakfast hours. |
|
|
3. Boyz N the Hood
If you think 90's gangsta rappers wanted to paint a pretty picture about Compton... then you're an idiot. |
|
|
4. Repo Man
Everybody is an asshole, a crazy, a drunk, or all of the above. And they took your car. |
|
|
5. Battle: Los Angeles
Aliens. Robots. Alien robots. Robotic aliens. The thought of giving Aaron Eckhart a gun after seeing what he did in "The Dark Knight". To robotic aliens. |
|
|
6. Plan 9 from Outer Space
Flying saucers over Hollywood and a very random day/night cycle. |
|
|
7. The Terminator
Being in the epicenter of a war with killer death machines built like Arnold Schwarzenegger never sat well with me. |
|
|
8. Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Nor has being near a nuclear explosion. |
|
|
9. Zombieland
Zombies. As well as the threat of Woody Harrelson going akimbo. |
|
|
10. The Big Lebowski
Vietnam Vets shooting up the bowling alleys and the threat that your carpet will remain smelling of urine. |
|
|
11. Pulp Fiction
Walk into a diner, expect a Mexican standoff. Walk into a man's home, expect a woman to come in O.D'ed. Walk into a pawn shop, expect to get raped. |
|
|
12. Demolition Man
L.A. doesn't appear to have a bright future either. Unless you have a very niche turn-on for sex-via-Virtual Boy. |
|
|
13. Die Hard
Celebrating the holidays in L.A.? Don't do it in a skyscraper. |
|
|
14. Escape from L.A.
Bruce Campbell with sharp objects and a community of plastic surgery fanatics will chase you down, catch you, and then reenact the beginning of Bioshock's Dr. Steinman boss sequence on your face. |
|
|
15. The Underground Comedy Movie
I'll take Vince Offer's word on it. Just tell him to stop singing. |
|
|
16. L.A. Story
Only on L.A's freeways would you expect everybody, even Steve Martin, to be packing heat. Maybe they're waiting for an action scene to break out around them: can't be too careful in L.A. |
"Oh shit! Open season on the LA freeway!"
Sorry, I only went on movies I knew. : /
Adding now.
I live in L.A. and it does get pretty bad down here. However, on my daily commute, I can at least take solace in the fact that it's not New York.
