Not to sound cliche, but I love New York City. I can hardly wait to see it next week when I return for Blogher ’12.
My love affair with NYC started years ago though….watching movies. Now of course that I’ve been there I am either always saying “Oooh, I’ve seen that!” or “Ooooh, I need to see that!” Here then is my list of the ten best movies set in New York City. What movies are your favourites set in New York City?
Elf
West Side Story
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
The Godfather
Ghostbusters
When Harry Met Sally
Three Men and A Baby
Sex and The City (The Movie)
Wall Street
The Avengers
Breakfast at Tiffany’s!! My all time fave New York movie
Love Breakfast at Tiffany’s but it’s really about Audrey, so elegant, so beautiful.
I don’t really have a favourite set in New York movie. I just love New York. Wish I could go some day.
You really need to watch Serendipity. hehe!
I will find it. Netflix I wonder?
I LOVE Elf!
First Christmas movie we watch every year! Love it.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s is ALWAYS top 5 for me and honestly, who doesn’t love John Cusack (Serendipity).
Rent is AWESOME (if you like singing) and most of Scent of a Woman is in NYC, which is also top 5 for me.
If I didn’t have a family, I probably would have moved to NYC years ago. Such a wonderful, awesome, amazing city. Enjoy your time there!
I’m a HUGE Rent fan, although I prefer the Live On Broadway recording to the theatrical version so it didn’t come to mind for me.
Apparently I need to watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I’ve never seen it!
Yes Maranda you do! Such a good movie. But as I said above in a comment, it’s really about Audrey.
Scent of a Woman! I forgot about that movie. I loved the young guy in that. What was his name? Chris something?
Chris O’Donnell – you can see him all grown up and yummy in NCIS:Las Angeles with the equally yummy LL Cool J
(excuse me whilst I grab a cold shower)
I have to add my favs too
1) Devil Wears Prada
2) Big
3) Kramer vs Kramer
Yes, yes and no for me. Gah Kramer vs Kramer just ripped my heart out and stomped all over it
Love Meryl though! And BIG…classic!
I love Fame (both versions) and of course The Muppets Take Manhattan.
Yes, Fame! Although I watched the series not the movie and yes The Muppets rock
The new movie was (surprisingly) good. You should check it out.
I will, because you know what other movie shocked me. Burlesque. So, I’m going to allow myself to be more open. I think Dream Girls caused damage LOL
Keep in mind that I am saying this as a man but I really enjoyed Serendipity and think you should check it out
Don’t tell anyone…..
Great list though, I love Elf!
