*cracks knuckles* Let's see here...

Taxi Driver

Goodfellas

The Godfather

Escape From New York

And of course

The Warriors

[SmoothOperator545]

Also Ghostbusters (1984) and American Psycho.

[Aquarius37]

The Warriors, hands down.

I Am Legend is a good one that is more recent.

I personally don't find movies that take place in NYC all that interesting, it's too easy to make up for crappy plots and terrible actors.

[Aquarius37]

But the kinds of people who move to NYC today ARE terrible actors living out crappy plots.

[l1995]

Taxi Driver

Dog Day Afternoon

Goodfellas

The Professional (known as Leon outside of the US)

Kids

The French Connection

and many others I can't think of right now


I didn't like Midnight Cowboy that much, but it's worth watching

[Mr. Zero]

Several of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I'd also add Annie Hall and Coming to America.
