Nah, can’t agree with that, mate. It’s a bit of a slow burner but I love it and watch it at least a couple of times a year.

The other half are set in LA.

This is waaay too broad.

Ha ha. That was quick! I knew it was coming, but thought it might take an hour or so.

The French Connection

Escape from New York

Ghostbusters

Coogan's Bluff

Midnight Cowboy

The Taking Of Pelham 123

 

Those are the ones off the top of my head that make me think of the city. Others, like The Godfather, don't really use the city that much.

Negged for not actually negging me 

[Mook]

Apart from the obvious ones...

 

After Hours

New York Stories

Ghostbusters

A Bronx Tale

King of New York

King Kong (1970s one)

The King of Comedy

Raging Bull

 

 

 

[SasaS]

It would be more interesting with only the films referencing New York or parts of it in the title.

 

 

[Chip Butty]

The Wanderers

12 Angry Men

Raging Bull

The Odd Couple

Trading Places

The Godfather & ptII

The Warriors

Most of Woody Allen's films

 

To name but a few.

The Funeral

 

Set in 1930s New York, massively underrated film & Chris Penn should've won an Oscar.

Ha, mad that you have said that. Prepare to be mind blown.

 

Trading Places was set in Philadelphia not New York. I know.... I only found that out last week in a random conversation about American cities and what to do in Philadelphia.

Mad that. It's always been a New York film in my head.
