Have you ever watched a movie when a scene comes up that looks so familiar, you immediately said "That's UCLA!" With its classic red brick buildings, the timeless arches of Royce Hall and the ascension to power when one climbs Janss Steps, the campus has long been a go-to location for the Hollywood ideal of what collegiate life is all about. Do you recall seeing UCLA in any of these films?
