Drive (2011)
By far my favorite movie of the year, Drive took me by surprise and resonated with me for a long time after. Needless to say, I was in love with the movie with it's great LA locations that I immediately started tracking down as soon as I left the theatre!
The film opens with a robbery at Maestro DJ Electronics in downtown LA....

A few minutes later, they take off and hide behind a truck. This particular building was also featured in Date Night...
Screenshot...
Following the police officer, they head down the street.....
Screenshots....
Later they take off and go across the bridge, while in reality none of this makes sense with the actual geographic layout, it works in the movie of course....
Screenshots...
Soon after they hide under the bridge, also a location used in many films, most recently Horrible Bosses....
Screenshots....
Ryan later shoots a stunt scene at LA Center Studios, also in downtown LA.....
Screenshots....
I immediately recognized the Hollywood Bowl exit....
The apartments in the movie are actually at the Park Plaza. I have not been on those floors, but here is the building....
Screenshots....
Ryan shops at the Big 6 Market.... only a block from his apartment in the movie, yet it's still a long drive home... Here is the inside of the store....
Screenshots....
And the outside of the store....
Screenshots...
Nino's Pizzeria is an actual pizza shop where I of course had to stop for lunch. The owner left up an actual Nino's menu too!
Screenshots...
The racetrack is Saugus Speedway up in Santa Clarita.... and apparently there are seasons for rattlesnakes!
Screenshots....
The garage is actually a business used for picture cars....
Screenshots...
The "oasis" in the LA River....
Screenshots....
The Denny's is no longer a Denny's, but... just as good!
Screenshots...
Screenshots....
MacArthur Park is adjacent the Park Plaza Hotel/apartments....
Screenshots....
Screenshots...
The motel is the Pink Motel, next to the diner that I like most for it's appearance in Grease 2!
Screenshots....
Screenshots...
The closing scenes take place in the parking lot behind the restaurant....

As a frequent visitor to Sundance, I had the pleasure of seeing both stars at different times....
