Into the Night (1985) with Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Pfeiffer and Classic LAX


Into the Night is a 1985 John Landis film that features iconic Los Angeles locations in various key sequences. My favorite is the climax / end of the movie that takes place somewhere in LAX in one of the walkway terminals with a great mosaic. Now destroyed by the tendency in Los Angeles to destroy famous landmarks.

David Bowie has a cameo as an assassin.

Inherent Vice (2014) Reference

draft
 
I speculate that I like this movie so much because I lived in LA at the beach during the period the movie describes.  I was reviewing the film to see if it would be appropriate for a friend and I noticed for the first time the following scene which ostensibly takes place during a party in Topanga Canyon in the early 1970s.  There is something about this picture that seemed familiar, perhaps.
