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!

Breakfast @ Tiffany's, Midnight Cowboy, Sleepless in Seattle, Barefoot in the Park, When Harry Met Sally, The Honeymooners are some of my favorites that come to mind.

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

Rent a Woody Allen movie.

Everyone Says I Love You, Kissing Jessica Stein, 13 going on 30 (I know, I know), You've Got Mail, Tootsie, Zoolander--just for the views from Roosevelt Island on "St. Adonis Cemetary", The Butcher's Wife, any episode of SATC and pretty much all Woody Allen...too many to name, but this is a start. Or just watch re-runs of Law and Order

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.

Small Time Crooks by Woody Allen. :)

The future film Mrs. Lovett plays Woody's girlfriend Frenchy in that movie. She's absolutely hilarious. Updated On: 2/28/05 at 09:35 PM

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.
