It\u2019s where it all began. So, it\u2019s no surprise many of America\u2019s finest filmmakers find a way to make it their playground. Legends like directors Quentin Tarantino, Michael Mann, and Paul Thomas Anderson have made it their home. Filmmakers explore ways to expand the vast array of nothingness in one of America\u2019s largest cities while also using their filmmaking prowess to craft tight, taut stories about ensembles of mischief. The open highways, getting across town, and the make-up of elite, rich millionaires living in the hills have made for a fascinating history of movie heroes and villains. The sun-soaked canvas of Los Angeles makes it a picturesque place to make a comedy or a thriller, while using the city as a character to make the story more complex. There could\u2019ve been a million ways to create this list because of how rich a tapestry the Los Angeles film is. But, these are the nine best.<br \/>\n <!-- No winning ad found for zone: word count #1! --><!-- No winning ad found for zone: Below First Paragraph! --><!-- Zone: native in content. --><\/p>\n<p><!-- No repeatable ad for zone: every entry repeatable. --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"point-blank\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Point_Blank\"><\/span> <span class=\"item-num\">9 <\/span> Point Blank<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"body-img landscape\">\n<div class=\"responsive-img img-article-item\" style=\"padding-bottom:54.166666666667%\">\n<figure>\n <picture>\n <!--[if IE 9]>\n <video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" sizes=\"750px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Point_Blank.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=750&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" sizes=\"943px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Point_Blank.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=943&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" sizes=\"767px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Point_Blank.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=767&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" sizes=\"480px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Point_Blank.jpg?q=50&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=480&amp;dpr=1.5\"\/><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"650\" class=\"lazyload\" alt=\"Point_Blank\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.moviewebimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Point_Blank.jpg\"\/>\n <\/picture><figcaption class=\"body-img-caption\">Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> The hallucinatory nature of sun-soaked Los Angeles was a fitting backdrop to the psychedelic oscillations of John Boorman\u2019s neo-noir <em>Point Blank<\/em>.
