Tangerine is a good one.

Bosch is a TV show but it's good and the city of LA is basically a character.

Solid list.

I hate myself for forgetting LA Story.

And to paraphrase Repo Man, the life of a true Angeleno is always intense.

Cutter's Way is a pretty rad movie set in Santa Barbara in the 80s.
