Spike Lee's 25th Hour with Edward Norton and Barry Pepper is all about NY.

Or Sex and the city

Yeah, Scorsese is your man for this subject.

Mean Streets, Taxi Driver... But you may never have heard of After Hours, not at all what you'd expect from Mr. S, but a great, great film. Simultaneously a satire and a rockin' love poem to NYC at night. I just about lived that movie one time.

You could also consider Midnight Cowboy, Smoke, and even Dog Day Afternoon. For some reason, the real NYC is always in the 70s for me.

It was all soundstages, and/or St. Louis.

thought it was odd nobody mentioned it yet, but The Warriors. If any film was ever about NYC and shot in NYC that'd be up there towards the top of the list. Great movie too. I kinda wonder how the game based on it will turn out...kinda afraid to try it as it'd possibly taint how I feel about the movie.

Oh yeah. God bless Walter Hill. Gotta school my young 20-something friend on that one, quick.

I think I knew something about NYC geography after a couple of viewings. At least, I knew that Coney Island was a hell of a long way from the Bronx.

I cant believe no one has mentioned.... Most anything directed by Woody Allen.
