I would appreciate any help with the following problem: I need to locate
films which deal (not necessarily exclusively) with Los Angleles
iconography, in my particular case, the Los Angeles Aqueduct and the Los
Angeles Coliseum.  I already have CHINATOWN for the Aqueduct, so any
further advise would be tremendously appreciated!

The original 1937 version of A STAR IS BORN makes quite a point of highlighting
certain Hollywood landmarks--the Chinese Theater, the Hollywood Bowl, the
Trocadero, etc.  These points are made even more specific in the original
trailer for the film (which is available at the U of Wisconsin Center for
Film and Theater Research).
 
BLADE RUNNER is partly set in detective Philip Marlow's Bradbury Building.
 
Any number of films set in Hollywood have similar references--the Paramount
gates in SUNSET BOULEVARD, for example.
