5. MEMENTO (2001)
Filmed at: THE BLUE ROOM BAR
916 S San Fernando Blvd
“Leonard winds up at "Ferdy's Bar", where Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), the bartender, spits in his beer, to test whether or not he's telling the truth about his memory problem… [The real The Blue Room bar] is on the north side of San Fernando Blvd, just west of Alameda Ave. When he first pulls into the bar's parking lot, Natalie is suspicious, because he's wearing Jimmy's clothes, and driving Jimmy's car. That scene was filmed in the lot on the west side of the bar.” – seeiningstars.com
4. GREASE (1978)
Filmed at: PICKWICK GARDENS CONFERENCE CENTER
1001 Riverside Drive
“By the time Greasewas filmed, the popularity of the drive-in had almost all but fizzled away. When it came to choosing a location for a sequence in which the entire main cast goes to the movies, choosing a drive-in location was fairly simple. The filmmakers decided on the Pickwick Drive-In in Burbank, which was also used as a backdrop to films such as Christine(1983) and Blue Thunder (1983).”
– Jared Cowan, LA Magazine
