I would like to hear everybody's favorite movie that is filmed in the streets of New York. I want to rent a few flix soon, and want to enjoy as much of New York scenery as possible!

Ok I have a few but there are too many to list. So bare with me:

"Wall Street" - THE classic NYC film.

"Igby Goes Down" - the title character runs away to SoHo and wanders all over the City.

"Working Girl"

"Devil's Advocate" - a cool movie - the New York setting is key.

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" - the opening sequence takes place on Park Ave.

"Trading Places" - mostly Philly but the last scene is at the World Trade Center.

"Fifth Element" - takes place in a New York City as imagined in the year 2100.

"Kids" - a very provocative film about the drug and sex-addled youth of the city. Washington Square park is featured.

"The Godfather" -

"Sleepers" - a great, but disturbing, movie taking place in Hell's Kitchen

"Die Hard with a Vengence" - great actioneer that takes place all over New York.

Oh and ghostbusters


The Ghostbusters fire house! Located at the corner of North Moore and Varick Streets. I went here, and it's a great place. The firemen are really nice and very tolerant of GB fans. They have the GB2 sign hanging up inside, an article in the Real Ghostbusters fan club magazine framed on the wall, a big bulletin board full of pictures from when the boys in gray were shooting, and their computer screen saver shows the words GHOST BUSTERS scrolling across the screen! They sell these awesome custom T-shirts there with the GB2 logo wearing a fireman's hat.

Two classic Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks movies in NY...

Sleepless in Seattle & You´ve got mail.

And....

In 1978's The Wiz, New York City doubles as the land of Oz, and Dorothy and friends visit the New York Public Library, Coney Island, the New York State Pavilion, and other landmarks. In a stroke of genius, the World Trade Center serves as the Emerald City.

The filming of 'Awake,' starring Haden Christensen and Jessica Alba had a scene filmed at Fordham Universitys Lincoln Center.
