A movie romance (literal) in Los Angeles
Go to the beaches of Malibu, where Sandy and Danny, lying on the sand, they gawked at each other at the end of summer. Live like them the first scene of grease on the Leo Carrillo beach , when Sandy asks Danny, "Is this the end?", and he replies, "No, it's just the beginning."
Grease's Malibu
Change the decade and the neighborhood, venture to beverly hills and, after some shopping at Century City , mimics Cher at the corner of Santa Monica Blvd and Wilshire recreating the scene from clueless her when she realizes that she is in love with her and says: "Oh my God. I love Josh”.
From there travel to The Happy , at the corner of Vermont Ave and Melbourne Ave., in front of the kiosk. Kiss your partner like Paul Dano his girlfriend , on the tape Ruby Sparks , discovering that she is real. Since you are in that neighborhood go to the corner of Hillburst Ave and Los Feliz Blvd, where John Favreau in swingers He told Heather Graham, after swing dancing at the Derby: "This is not enough. I want to have more plans with you."

Of course you have to visit the Four Season on Whilshire Blvd and walk Rodeo Dr. with the self-confidence of Vivian in beautiful woman . How to forget the most romantic movie recorded in Los Angeles. But go further and rent a limo and go to Vivian's apartment. Repeat that sequence where she comes down the stairs and Edward carries her in his arms. The scene was recorded at the Las Palmas hotel, on Las Palmas Avenue, a few steps from Hollywood Blvd.
Remember when Johnny Depp proposed to Patricia Arquette in Ed Woods. Become Ed and Kathy in front of the Pantages Theater in hollywood boulevard.

You've seen Can't Hardly Wait ? I recommend it before traveling to Los Angeles. Then tell your partner about "There's probably another train I can catch" and kiss him at Union Station, an emblematic location in the city.
Another unforgettable point to recreate a kiss is the bridges of the canals of Venice Beach, like Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher in the movie Valentine's Day. In an attempt to make Cupid's day perfect, he tops off the celebration of love atop a gondola at sunset. Did you know that here we have gondolas like in Venice? You probably have to make a reservation for the weekend of February 14, but it's worth going to Huntington Beach to watch the sunset from a gondola while savoring a glass of Californian champagne (1637 Pacific Coast Hwy).

If you have a gift and you don't know when is the best time to deliver it. Give it to her at the Hollywood Bowl, in the same theater where they met Eric Stolz and Lea Thompson on their first and only date Some Kind of Wonderful.
Some Kind of Wonderful
And since you're in Los Angeles playing at being actors, you have to portray yourself as the star couple of the moment. Of course yes, you were right: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Romantic Night at Cicada in Downtown LA , where Angie and Brad kissed for the first time dancing a tango in Mr & Mrs Smith . Dance, passion and desire.
Mr & Mrs Smith
They say that the most romantic scene in movies is the last one. White House , when Rick says goodbye to Lisa: “If that plane leaves and you're not on it, you'll regret it. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life." The film was shot at Warner Brothers studios, which have a guided tour, but that sequence was shot at the van nuys airport on Waterman Dr., where today there is a park and the public sits to watch planes take off and land.

There is something exotic and romantic about Malibu canyons where it was shot Mildred Pierce by Joan Crawford. An overwhelming space to return to reality and treat yourself to a romantic dinner. The recommendation? Saddle Peak Lodge, at 419 Cold Canyon Rd. (Calabasas), in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains. Before being a restaurant, this building was first a carriage station (a Pony Express), then a hunter's hotel and later a brothel . Saddle Peak Lodge is a quirky destination, a favorite of Angelenos looking for a romantic weekend. The chef, Christopher Kufek , masterfully executes the venison carpaccio with alioli and avocado mousse, the elk tenderloins and the grilled snapper. In the same style, but for vegetarians, is the Inn of the Seventh Ray's in Topanga Canyon. The chef is Bradley Miller, a contestant on Hell's Kitchen that produces all the food that he cooks.
