Scorsese is the king of New York...

[Vinnie V]

My favorite is The Warriors. It was plain cool to see the gang trying to make it back home with all the gangs in New York after them.

[Fergus]

Scorsese may be king, but Midnight Cowboy was first.

[James Logan]

THE PAPER. Way underrated movie.

[Deckard]

John Carpenter's ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.

Richard Donner's SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE

Have any of yall seen a movie called "The Wanderers"? That was in New York. It is a badass movie. A Bronx Tale was pretty good too.

[Cyclonus]

Requiem For a Dream

[pennywise46]

Taxi Driver is the best IMO.

[OBzilla]

Escape From New York is one of the best films ever IMO but i'm a huge Kurt Russell fan.

Allen-heads may be on to something, Annie Hall was very NY-centric, and Manhattan looked beautiful in the film of the same name...
