The Producers.

Most of the Woody Allen movies, my favorites: Radio Days, and Broadway Danny Rose.

The best NY movie ever: Midnight Cowboy.

Some of my favorite NY movies:
It Could Happen To You
Big Business
The Clock
One Fine Day

I'm looking forward to the Jennifer Garner movie "13 Going On 30." It looks adorable.

I like the old movies that feature Broadway related things:
Like: the Judy Garland/Micky Rooney movies, Funny Girl, Funny Lady.

Woody Allen movies of course, my favorites are Hannah and Sisters and Manhattan.

TADPOLE is a very good movie and also so New York

Midnight Cowboy was a wonderful movie featuring the seedy old Times Square area

"Desperately Seeking Susan" always makes me want to move to NY. I wanna live in Aidan Quinn's loft!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

THE MUPPETS TAKE MANHATTAN!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

MOONLIGHT AND PRETZELS - this rare no-star Universal 1933 musical (score by Jay Gorney & Yip Harburg) seems to have been produced with nothing but pure nerve. It's the anti-"42nd street".

Interesting that both of my picks are Woody Allen, but then, who else has devoted a lifetime of work as a tribute to one city?

NYC - Hannah and Her Sisters

Broadway - Bullets Over Broadway (what other film justifies killing someone for being a bad actor?)
"What can you expect from a bunch of seitan worshippers?" - Reginald Tresilian

It's not a movie at all but I remember the opening credits for THAT GIRL, with its shots of the marquees for CACTUS FLOWER, CABARET, the WINTER GARDEN, the MET, et al, made New York and Broadway look like the most exciting place on the face of the planet.

Manhattan- "He was as tough and romantic as the city he loved...New York was his town and it always would be." Makes me tear up.

West Side Story

Miracle on 34th Street...the new one is more NYC than the original...the scene with Dylan McDermott and Elizabeth Perkins in front of the tree...lovely
