I'm going to LA on vacation in January and I'm hoping to get a few photos of movie locations so I'm just wondering if anybody has any recommendations. Obviously I'm aware that there are a huge number of locations in the city where movies have been shot (especially the likes of Union Station, Venice Beach etc), but if anyone has any favorite locations, knows any especially photogenic places or knows of any unusual locations, your assistance would be much appreciated.

Also, I've seen one LA location in loads of movies and would especially like to check it out - it's an old-looking bridge that looks like it could be made of sandstone and has featured in movies like Repoman and To Live and Die in LA. Does anyone know where it is?

There's a lot of porno being shot in Van Nuys if you want to check it out.

The Big Lebowski and the diner scene in Pulp Fiction were both shot at Dinah's in Culver City. ANd they really do sell Swedish Pancakes!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

If you are looking for the bridge, I think it may be on this site:

Cheers for the replies guys, especially that website you mentioned Savvysearch - some great pics of LA's bridges!

I haven't seen those movies; could it be the white bridge that skirts the L.A. River, around Downtown Los Angeles?

Yes, these are the bridges I was talking about.
As you see Dr Nick, in Downtown L.A. you can choose what bridge to visit... LOL

Is that also the bridge from Chinatown?

This scene from "The Fast and the Furious" was filmed in Little Saigon in Westmnster in Orange County:
