Just like people or movies/shows, there are certain special places used frequently in the 80's that they become as synonymous and special as anything else. The original Sherman Oaks Galleria is one of them. Just like John Marshall High School, the mall was an 80's fixture in several movies.

"Fast Times At Ridgemont High" -




"Commando" -



"Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge" -



"Chopping Mall" -



The mall opened in 1980 and the original, iconic mall was torn down in 2002. Other films that used the place in some way include "Valley Girl", "Back to the Future II", "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", "Innerspace", and "Walk Like A Man".

Cool idea for a thread!

This is the place where I'd liked to be.

It was one I always wanted to do because I love that location/mall. I was going to do more but good pics were scarce. I am glad you like it though.

Melis

It's a great 80s mall.

Barrybgb

Wish I had gone there when I was there in L.A.

Melis

You'd have so many memories.

Barrybgb

Was there in L.A. about a year before they closed.
