Movies with NY scenery

OK, this may sound totally lame, but I'm feeling a little homesick for New York. (No, I'm not from there, but I don't get there as often as I'd like.) I figure a New York movie fix might help, so I'm trying to think of movies with lots of scenery of the city. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Slaves of New York, one of my favs, with Bernadette Peters.....from the 80's I think.

The ultimate NYC movie...Woody Allen's 1979 masterpiece "Manhattan".

Part of the film " Splendor in The Grass " was filmed in my friend's backyard in Brookhaven, NY. It was in 1959. They were also looking for a baby to be in the scene. My mother brought my baby brother in but they turned him down because he was blonde and they wanted a child with dark hair.

Thanks, guys!

For a more depressing view, check out Spike Lee's THE 25TH HOUR. It was the first post 9/11 movie to really acknowledge the tragedy. The opening credits are built around the two shafts of light that shone in place for the towers for several months. One of the characters is a stock broker, and when you see him at work, it is in a very temporary looking setting with all the files in cardboard boxes. Later, you see him at home, and his apartment is at Battery Park City, with the view overlooking Ground Zero.

On thwe other hand, there's always GODSPELL, in which they dance on the roof of one of the just-finished towers!

For a classic, "The Clock" with Judy Garland and Robert Walker. Lovely shots of Central Park zoo. Most of it, however, was on very well built replica sets.

"Hair"
"Fame"

Also, "Trick" has a lot of NY scenery especially of Greenwich Village- sadly the last shot as the camera pans back over 7th Ave South and Bleeker shows the two towers. Sad.
