The year of 2016 was magical when we all appraised La La Land in its every aspect, notably on its references to:
- Musicals in the 50s and 60s
- All-time classic romance Casablanca, scenes shot in the Warner Bros. Studios in Los Angeles
- The Royal Observatory where Rebel Without A Cause was filmed
- Traditional film playing in a cinema with a chance of heat resulting in burning of 35mm film
- End credits starting with "The End" which we have not seen for long
