Whether you&rsquo;re planning to explore the famous locales <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/14-best-places-travel-alone\/\">on your own<\/a> or you simply want to spot some familiar areas on the screen, you&rsquo;re sure to get a kick out of these ten popular movies filmed in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"10-legally-blonde-2001\">10. Legally Blonde (2001)<\/h2>\n<h4 id=\"rotten-tomatoes-score-70\">Rotten Tomatoes score: 70%<\/h4>\n<p>Directors often utilize clever camera trickery to make films appear as though they&rsquo;re set elsewhere in the world &mdash; when, in reality, the cast never even left its main location. An excellent example of this technique is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.movie-locations.com\/movies\/l\/Legally-Blonde.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legally Blonde<\/a>, which was filmed almost entirely in Los Angeles despite being set at Harvard University, Massachusetts. Director Robert Luketic shot the Harvard Square scenes at All Saints Church in Pasadena, and the Harvard interior shots all took place in Rose City High School.<\/p>\n<p>Viewers familiar with Beverly Hills may also recognize Il Cielo, the beautiful restaurant where Warner (Matthew Davis) breaks up with Elle (Reese Witherspoon) at the beginning of the film.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"9-grease-1978\">9. Grease (1978)<\/h2>\n<h4 id=\"rotten-tomatoes-score-75\">Rotten Tomatoes score: 75%<\/h4>\n<p>A quintessential feel-good movie, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lamag.com\/culturefiles\/grease-movie-locations-los-angeles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Grease<\/a> was filmed exclusively in Los Angeles. The real-life exterior of Rydell High is Venice High School, although the inside wouldn&rsquo;t be familiar to any fans of this musical &mdash; all of the interior shots are set in Huntington Park High School.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve ever danced along with the film&rsquo;s catchy &ldquo;You&rsquo;re the One That I Want&rdquo; closing number, you may recognize the athletic fields behind John Marshall High School in the Silverlake area. This was where the movie&rsquo;s colorful, uplifting carnival finale scene was shot. Interestingly, this high school also appears in one of the darker movies filmed in LA: A Nightmare On Elm Street.<\/p>\n<html><body><div id=\"in_post\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/host\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'first in post', version: '2.0'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n  <div class=\"first-in-post-cta\">\r\n    <header>\r\n      <h2 id=\"can-we-pay-you-to-store-vehicles\">Can we pay you to store vehicles?<\/h2>\r\n    <\/header>\r\n    <section>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <div class=\"service-option-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path d=\"M26.7552 20.0573C26.2911 20.9853 26.2499 22.3578 26.2499 24.375H33.7499C33.7499 22.3577 33.7088 20.9853 33.2448 20.0573C33.0557 19.6792 32.8 19.3973 32.3888 19.1841C31.9442 18.9535 31.2108 18.75 30 18.75C28.7892 18.75 28.0558 18.9535 27.6112 19.1841C27.2 19.3973 26.9442 19.6792 26.7552 20.0573Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M28.0777 4.32887C29.3195 3.87732 30.6805 3.87732 31.9223 4.32887L48.7973 10.4652C51.0173 11.2725 52.5 13.3777 52.5 15.7462V33.1425C52.5 33.7407 52.4058 34.3605 52.1888 34.9629C47.861 46.9738 35.9939 53.5676 32.1164 55.464C30.7986 56.1086 29.2843 56.1505 27.9278 55.5549C23.9729 53.8185 12.0728 47.6941 7.77513 34.8948C7.58399 34.3255 7.5 33.7394 7.5 33.1762V15.7481C7.5 13.3807 8.98165 11.2729 11.2027 10.4652L28.0777 4.32887ZM22.4998 24.1662L22.4999 24.375C20.4289 24.375 18.75 26.054 18.75 28.125V35.625C18.75 37.6961 20.4289 39.375 22.5 39.375H37.5C39.5711 39.375 41.25 37.6961 41.25 35.625V28.125C41.25 26.0539 39.5711 24.375 37.5 24.375L37.5 24.166C37.5016 22.4546 37.5037 20.19 36.5989 18.3802C36.0848 17.352 35.2859 16.4621 34.115 15.855C32.9776 15.2652 31.6017 15 30 15C28.3983 15 27.0224 15.2652 25.885 15.855C24.7141 16.4621 23.9152 17.352 23.4011 18.3802C22.4961 20.1901 22.4982 22.4547 22.4998 24.1662Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg><\/div>\r\n        <h3 id=\"list-your-unused-space\">List your unused space<\/h3>\r\n        <p>People are earning $1,000s per year from their garages and outdoor space.<\/p>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <div class=\"service-option-icon\">\r\n          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.125 9.375C11.0539 9.375 9.375 11.0539 9.375 13.125V46.875C9.375 48.9461 11.0539 50.625 13.125 50.625H46.875C48.9461 50.625 50.625 48.9461 50.625 46.875V13.125C50.625 11.0539 48.9461 9.375 46.875 9.375H13.125ZM28.125 16.875C28.125 15.8395 28.9645 15 30 15C31.0355 15 31.875 15.8395 31.875 16.875V20.625H35.625C36.6605 20.625 37.5 21.4645 37.5 22.5C37.5 23.5355 36.6605 24.375 35.625 24.375H26.25C25.2145 24.375 24.375 25.2145 24.375 26.25C24.375 27.2855 25.2145 28.125 26.25 28.125H33.75C36.8566 28.125 39.375 30.6434 39.375 33.75C39.375 36.8566 36.8566 39.375 33.75 39.375H31.875V43.125C31.875 44.1605 31.0355 45 30 45C28.9645 45 28.125 44.1605 28.125 43.125V39.375H22.5C21.4645 39.375 20.625 38.5355 20.625 37.5C20.625 36.4645 21.4645 35.625 22.5 35.625H33.75C34.7855 35.625 35.625 34.7855 35.625 33.75C35.625 32.7145 34.7855 31.875 33.75 31.875H26.25C23.1434 31.875 20.625 29.3566 20.625 26.25C20.625 23.1434 23.1434 20.625 26.25 20.625H28.125V16.875Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <h3 id=\"approve-your-renters\">Approve your renters<\/h3>\r\n        <p>You're in control.

The Prestige (2006)<\/h2>\n<h4 id=\"rotten-tomatoes-score-75-2\">Rotten Tomatoes score: 75%<\/h4>\n<p>Appropriately, Christopher Nolan used a bit of movie magic while directing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0482571\/locations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this illusion-heavy film<\/a>. Although it is set in Victorian England, the camera crew never left Los Angeles. Instead, they made heavy use of some of LA&rsquo;s most opulent theaters, hotels, and mansions.<\/p>\n<p>To conjure images of London&rsquo;s West End, Nolan filmed at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Tower Theatre<\/li>\n<li>The Belasco<\/li>\n<li>The Palace<\/li>\n<li>The Los Angeles Theatre<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"one-of-the-most-popular-filming-spots-in-los-angeles\">One of the Most Popular Filming Spots in Los Angeles<\/h3>\n<p>If you thought the mansion featured throughout this movie seemed a little familiar, you have a good eye. It&rsquo;s actually the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greystonemansion.org\/filmed-at-greystone.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greystone Mansion<\/a>, a Beverly Hills landmark that has appeared in dozens of films, from The Social Network to Ghostbusters.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"7-captain-marvel-2019\">7. Captain Marvel (2019)<\/h2>\n<h4 id=\"rotten-tomatoes-score-78\">Rotten Tomatoes score: 78%<\/h4>\n<p>Although it&rsquo;s set all over the galaxy, this interstellar movie was filmed almost entirely in Los Angeles and the greater LA area. <a href=\"https:\/\/moviemaps.org\/movies\/3jj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Notable locations<\/a> include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Valencia Street<\/li>\n<li>Valley Plaza<\/li>\n<li>The Jim Hall Racing Club<\/li>\n<li>Gillibrand Quarry<\/li>\n<li>The entire LA metro system<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While the chase scene at the beginning of the film was genuinely shot on LA&rsquo;s public transportation system, regular metro riders may feel a bit disoriented watching it. The exciting chase takes place across multiple metro lines, jumping erratically around the city with no regard for actual geography. Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) hops onto the green line at Los Angeles Metro Douglas Station, somehow shifts onto the blue line halfway through her ride, and eventually emerges at Metro Center Station in downtown LA.<\/p>\n<p>Fans of Captain Marvel might also recognize the strip mall at West 6th and Valencia Street, where Carol dons her leather jacket and steals a motorcycle. If you want a glimpse of the fictional planet Torfa, then you just need to head slightly north of LA to Gillibrand Quarry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"6-fight-club-1999\">6.

Director David Fincher filmed all over Los Angeles while making this movie. But he tended to avoid recognizable landmarks in favor of smaller locales like Launderland (now called Lavanderia Coin Laundry) and S&amp;H Cleaners.<\/p>\n<p>Spots that eagle-eyed watchers might recognize include the water feature at California Plaza, the modern art courtyard on South Flower Street, and the Alexandria Hotel.<\/p>\n<html><body><div id=\"2_in_post\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/host\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'second in post', version: '2.0'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n  <div class=\"second-in-post-cta\">\r\n    <section>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <h2 id=\"earn-1000s-per-year-with-your-unused-space\">Earn $1,000s per year with your unused space<\/h2>\r\n        <button>Become a Neighbor host<\/button>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/a>\n  <\/div><\/body><\/html><h2 id=\"5-thelma-and-louise-1991\">5.

In fact, the only desert scenes outside Los Angeles were shot in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/best-places-live-utah\/\">Utah<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Scott managed to create this deceptively expansive landscape by bringing his cast and crew all around the outer edges of LA.
