Best movies that take place in NYC... (New York, Greenwich: taxi driver, gangs)

[90'sHip_Hop_Head]

I say [Juice][Do the right thing]Bronx tale][Coming to America][Rumble in the Bronx]


What do you all think?!

Ed Burns' movie "Sidewalks of New York - light romantic comedy like Woody Allen makes. As you know, many of Woody Allen's movies take place in NY. But you have to be a fan.

[Dark of the Moon]

"On the Town," the 1949 classic starting Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra (among many others) -- shot on location in NYC. The original "New York, New York" song comes from this film:

"New York, New York -- a helluva town.
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down.
And people ride in a hole in the ground.
New York, New York -- it's a helluva town!"

That is a great song by the way it's been remixed a plethora of times

I actually never heard of him before but it sounds like him and Spike lee have one thing in common:

Being obsessed with filming in NY!

You listed some of my favorite movies (A Bronx Tale, Do the Right Thing, Coming to America).

I'm drawing a blank on others.Hmmm So many movies are filmed here. Goodfellas, 25th hour, I'll add more later when I can think.

[iGlenn]

Here's my list in no particular order.

Bronx Tale
Mr Deeds (the one made in the 30's)
American Psycho
KIDS (it's sad and cruel, but for some it's reality)
Miracle on 34th St
Barefoot in the park
Taxi Driver (one of my all time favorites)
Pope of Greenwich Village
Wall Street
Ghostbusters
When Harry Met Sally
Rent
Die Hard with a Vengeance
Summer of Sam
Ransom
Spiderman (all of them)

Edit:

I know this is off topic but my favorite tv show based in NYC is NYPD Blue.

[WildCardSteve]

Gangs of New York
The Godfather, pts I & II
Men in Black

And, another vote for A Bronx Tale

[Dirk Bonner]

Midnight Cowboy

[Andysocks]

My vote goes to Men in Black, since it acknowledged a simple notion that Queens residents have had for years... those towers at the nys pavilion look a hell of a lot like UFOs on sticks.
