About my movie collection
Here you'll find a collection of DVD movies who are filmed in, are about, or themed in Los Angeles.
It was quite easy to establish the collection because most movies are LA movies.
Downtown Los Angeles is the most filmed place on earth.

Hollywood shows Los Angeles as city of noir, a gang land, a nightmare, the crime capitol or, worst, as New York.
But Los Angeles is also a place where dreams come true, sunny beaches and bungalows...

On the block of Sunset & Vine Cecil B. DeMille directed Holly- wood's first full-length feature film 'The Squaw Man' for the Jesse L. Lasky feature play company in 1913.
Charlie Chaplin, british-born actor and producer along with partners Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith established his own studio United Artists in 1919.
 
Today you'll find a notification of filming from the Entertainment Industry Development Corporation of Southern California EIDC/ Film L.A. on every street.
Commercials, TV series, feature films, music videos and soap operas are produced in vast quantities.
