Any recommendations for any movies or TV shows with the '60s and '70s Los Angeles aesthetic. Long Goodbye is the best and I've already seen Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. I've lived in L.A. a few years and occasionally hit up Musso & Frank, Casa Vega, Mel's Drive-In and Formosa Cafe. Any other places with that stuck in a time bubble vibe here?

that ryan gosling russel crowe movie (i think its called the nice guys)
short cuts
licorice pizza
inherent vice
model shop (nice LA ambiance but boring imo)
la la land, under the silver lake (these ones depict modern times tho)
Paul Thomas Anderson mainly focuses on the Valley, but Licorice Pizza, Inherent Vice and Boogie Nights do a top notch job of showing that '60s to early '80s vibe. You can tell he really loves the place by how much care he puts into the setting.
oh thats right and i had forgotten about boogie nights for some reason lmao
Point Blank (1967)
>or TV shows with the '60s and '70s Los Angeles aesthetic.
Adam 12
Dragnet
Rockford Files
Emergency!
I remember Dragnet because of the song. I don't think it's been on syndication since I was a toddler. Was the reboot from the '60s set in contemporary times or did they stick to the post war setting if the radio show? It's a great franchise, I wonder why they haven't tried to reboot it again.
The newer one is set in current time and airs early am on METV.
It all started with this movie.
the dragnet i was thinking of was set in the then current time of the late 60s. You may or may not like the show but it takes place in LA and there are lots of exterior shots of them driving around.

Thanks, anon. Wish it had more exterior shots. But I really like the pastel look of the interiors and clothes. I'm glad stuff like this is available for free on YouTube. How else will the kids learn about the dangers of LSD?
Harper

Night Moves (partially anyways)

Oh and Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles, how the frick could I forget Roscoe's
Don't forget Langer's Deli. There's a few delis in the area with the time warp vibe. The movie suggestions in this thread are good. I got rid of all my streaming subscriptions, gonna see which ones I can find for free to kill the time.
>aesthetic
Frick off zoomer
Rockford Files is a fantastic show but it also showcases LA
The Driver
Point Blank
Fricking HATED this film
L.A. Confidential.
>but that's 50's
Whatever.
based endless whiner.
Stockton kino from the master John Huston. Not sure where that is exactly.
This one is great as a back-to-back with Robert Wise's The Set-Up based on how defeatists the whole thing is.
Can't believe no one's mentioned Columbo
i came in this thread just to mention columbo
>Peter Falk
I just realized that's a strange name for a man playing an Italian-American police officer in Los Angeles in the 1970's. He actually does look like one of those midget Sicilian wops though that are all over New York.
>Can't believe no one's mentioned Columbo
Us yhsy la? i always felt it was kind of timeless. no one seesm to reference anything contemporary.
So should I watch Rockford Files or Columbo? I have access to both. Or should I watch them simultaneously and pretend I'm living in the heyday of network television.
More Altman kino in Palm Springs.
Aquarius had gorgeous cinematography and set design that was pretty accurate to the era. Any Manson movie or TV show will have that vibe. And I can't believe no one has mentioned Oliver Stone's The Doors. If Los Angeles were a band, it would be The Doors.
point break
Cool movie. But the '90s modern look doesn't have the same feel. There's something about the post-war to mid '80s visuals that carry some odd charm and idealism to them. The last great look for L.A. set movies was the hair metal era of the mid-80s. After that it becomes too polished - I blame MTV.
>Long Goodbye
Had never heard of that but a friend showed it to me about 2 weeks ago. Amazing movie.
The irony about a bunch of the films from the late 1960s, and early 1970s, that were based on Raymond Chandler mysteries, is that Chandler’s last novel, ‘Playback’, was published in 1958, but based on a screenplay he wrote in 1947, and most of the other novels were written in the 1940s.
Despite this, the novels barely gad to be changed for filming to be set in the 1960s and 1970s, other than some slight technical changes having to due with things like elevators etc.
Basically, Hollywood and Los Angeles were decades ahead of large portions of the country as far as certain trends went.
to live and die in la but the 80s
Night Moves
Harper and the sequel Th Drowning Pool
If you want a more bright and happy look of that era you have Gidget, Beach Blanket Bingo and all the other Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello movies. They're very L.A. beach-centric but the bikinis of the era look nice on the girls and reflect on a simpler time.
QUINCY M.E
Jack klugman solves MURDERS in LA lots of outdoor shots including Marina Del Ray
