What are some movies that were shot in my neighborhood?

I know there are films that use Silverlake and Los Feliz as a backdrop but none are coming to mind...

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Wow, Lon, you're living large among the movie stars aren't you? Color me impressed. You know who my neighbors are? Squirrels.

Anyway, it seems as though your neighborhood was a hot spot for film studios in the early days of Hollywood. I had a much harder time finding any recent movies filmed in your area specifically (most just indicating "shot in L.A.").

Here are some of the movies shot in your 'hood:

"The Music Box" - A short film by Laurel and Hardy

A number of early Charlie Chan movies shot by Monogram Pictures

"The Hurricane" - (1937) Starring Dorothy Lamour

"Johnny Guitar" - (1954) Starring Joan Crawford

Sorry I couldn't find any more modern examples, even though I'm sure there are many.

Now Lon, listen carefully: If you see Nathan Fillion or Alexander Skarsgard, you are to chase them down like you're running from sweet death itself, then you get them to sign an autograph that reads, "Dear Katie, I'll be over tonight". Phone numbers would be a bonus. Thank you.

I've met Nathan Fillion. Twice. Nice guy.

If I ever see him again, I'll get right on this assignment.

In the movie "Swingers" 1996 the location on the corner of Hillhurst and Los Feliz.

The night club called The Derby was used for many scenes in that movie.

One of my favorite movies!

Certainly "Mulholland Drive" has a scene from Silverlake.
"The Music Box" by Laurel and Hardy was also shot there a million years ago.
I'm sure there are others. If you have a pro account with IMDB.com you could probably do a search for others.
