Wasn't Scott great back then it's almost like a Kubrick piece in the aesthetics and tone. I heard even Philip Dick thought it was an improvement over his story. Really says so much about man and machine, the future of humanity and the nature of identity. And yes from the opening burning towers, it depicts LA as unforgivingly as near any movie.

The only one that I'd add that immediately comes to mind is Lynch's Inland Empire, which paints a fantastically gruelling portrait of Hollywood as a place where the innocent can come naively and end up diseased, stabbed in the gut with a screwdriver and bleeding to death on the sidewalk, apathetic prostitutes the only thing close to what you could call friends. But Mulholland Dr. paints a similar picture, so you wouldn't really need both on the list, haha.

Perhaps the only inclusion I would add would be Chinatown, because in its neo-noir malaise it manages to really paint a picture of L.A. as absolutely dreary and depressing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05964382571233458979noreply@blogger.com
