I'm making a video about best night city scenes. Do you remember any movies with city at night? It's just views on the city at night, not some object at night. I found a lot of good material in movies such as Collateral and Heat. Maybe you remeber some 90's action movies with that scenes?

Please help, as soon, as i make this video, i'll post it here.

I think the opening of Woody Allen's Manhattan has some nice shots. The few that were in Scorsese's Mean Streets looked beautiful.

Munich had some nice-looking night scenes. In Bruges as well.

If you're talking about just a quick shot of a city at night, there are some very cool shots of Gotham at night in the two Nolan Batman films. There are also some in V for Vendetta.

Like bigred said most Mann films have gorgeous shots of city skylines.

I'll add Miami Vice to that too.

Why does it need to be 90-00s?

Why does it need to be 90-00s?
Cause that's what i like.:] The city of 90's feels different than the city of 50-70's. If i combine different times it'll destroy the atmosphere i want to create. Mostly it's because of the cars and buildings, tho some buildings might look the same in 50's and 90's and that's what i can use.

BTW, Ikiru is awesome.

Thanks, Sonny Corleone and Le_Big_Mac.:)
