A whip-smart secretary, she's aching for more—attending diction classes, and commuting on the Staten Island ferry while dealing with sleazy Wall Streeters along the way. When she learns her new, female boss Sigourney Weaver stole a big idea McGill shared with her, she seizes an opportunity to take it back—by posing in her boss's job. I love watching her infiltrate the boys' club downtown steps from my company's offices today , sleuthing her way into a position she greatly deserves, and falling in love with an investment broker with a heart of gold played by Harrison Ford as she does it.
It's feel-good inspiration for anyone who's ever felt stuck in life and yearned to get past it. Now navigating life as an adult—played by a young, affable Tom Hanks—Baskin moves from his New Jersey hometown to New York City, taking a job at a toy company with his adolescent friend Billy in tow.
Schwarz flagship on Fifth Avenue today, you can still embrace your inner child and settle into this delightful movie. Nora Ephron's New York had me hooked years before I'd ever had the chance to visit—and there's perhaps no movie that romanticizes the city more perfectly than When Harry Met Sally. The script is perfect, the shots of Central Park in the fall are perfect, the pastrami sandwich at Katz's Deli is perfect. Is it an accurate depiction of life in New York City?
Absolutely not. Does it remind me why I moved here in the first place? Every time. Spike Lee's masterful Do the Right Thing turned 30 last year, yet it remains just as relevant an examination of racism in America as it did when it was first released in —exploring racial inequality and police violence during a hot summer's day in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood.
This documentary features interviews with iconic performers, like Pepper LaBeija and Dorian Corey, and explores the racism, poverty, and discrimination these women faced in paving the path for today's generation. It's easily one of the best documentaries of the decade one of the best of New York City, period and documents a fundamentally important moment of time in the city.
I struggle to identify any gangster movie as superior to The Godfather , but with this film's cachet and sleazy, wise guy charms the suits! Watch now: Free with Hulu subscription, hulu. Can anyone say Worst Parents Ever? In the second installment of Home Alone , Kevin McCallister once again finds himself estranged from his ever-negligent family, this time in the middle of the Big Apple. While his family spends Christmas in Miami , Kevin is unwittingly reunited with the same two bungling burglars he foiled in Chicago.
Cue the swinging paint cans and falling tool chests. The fact that his victory is made possible only with the help of a crazy bird lady in Central Park solidifies this as a true New York movie.
There is a rawness to this low budget, documentary-style fictional film that made it more than just a twisted coming-of-age story, but rather turned it into something that resonated deeply and menacingly with viewers from all over. I was 11 when I first saw it—too young by most standards—many oceans away from New York City, and there were scenes that stayed with me so vividly that they became reference points long after that first viewing.
The film's realness is in part due to smart casting—all the titular teens were selected from the streets of New York by casting directors who had been observing city kids with the hopes of finding real-life versions of the characters they were creating. Some have gone on to make it big, like Chloe Sevigny and Rosario Dawson , but what makes Kids so compelling is New York itself—or rather, the relationship between it and the characters.
Its vastness provides an anonymity and boundless sense of adventure, thrill, and excitement, but proves the city can also be dangerous, scary, and lonely. The power it instills can be swiftly replaced with insignificance. And the kids learn that lesson the hardest of all. Is it possible that a large number of New Yorkers are actually aliens in disguise? Seems possible to me. How could I not choose two Nora Ephron movies for this list? In a time where we're all clambering to experience meaningful human connection through our screens, You've Got Mail 's story of a meet-cute over email feels oddly relevant right now, even if it is soundtracked by the sound of AOL dial up.
Plus, it's a good reminder to support New York's independent bookstores if you can—the last thing we want when this is over is for the city to be dominated by the likes of Fox Books. Don't watch this one with mom and dad. The last film by Stanley Kubrick before his death, Eyes Wide Shut is an erotic psychological drama staring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, centering around the mystery of a masked, hyper-sexual secret New York society.
The shots are gorgeous, and the music a perfect mix of eerie and seductive. Though set in New York City, the film was actually shot in the United Kingdom, where Kubrick painstakingly recreated exterior shots of Greenwich Village , even going so far as to precisely replicate the street widths of Manhattan and the true distance between newspaper stands.
Final fun fact: Eyes Wide Shut holds the Guinness World Record for the longest constant movie shoot clocking in at total days. While the main setting in this beloved dance movie is clearly the stage, Center Stage also does a fantastic job of showing off New York City's dance world, from the ballet companies and Lincoln Center to the modern dance classes and salsa clubs all over the city.
The movie juxtaposes fun, touristy New York boat tours, Times Square with dance community hotspots in a way that shows off the energy of the city, as well as the ambitious creative types that flock there. The movie instilled in me both a love for dancing and a love for New York City, which are still going strong after two decades. Set in NYC in the late '80s a real vibe for the city , American Psycho is equal parts horror and comedy, as it follows a hyper-polished Financial District investment banker who leads a double life as a serial killer.
The whole thing is dripping in satire, and it takes a few swings at the city's relationship with money, work, and material status symbols that any New Yorker can appreciate.
Sure, you've probably seen Elf more times than you can count—we all have—but if it isn't one of the most iconic New York City movies, I don't know what is. You've got holiday crowds, the glowing Rockefeller Center, grumpy New Yorkers trudging through sidewalk slush, and of course, Will Ferrell barreling through the streets dressed as an elf. Though I moan about watching it for the th time each winter, the moment it comes on I find myself suddenly smiling—and infatuated with New York during the holidays all over again.
I was much closer to 13 than 30 the first time I watched this Jennifer Garner classic, but immediately related to the nerdy girl dreaming of working in magazines—one who had a knack for creating collages and mood boards.
The movie features some of the most well-known New York City destinations, including Central Park and the Brooklyn Bridge , but for me it was all about the childlike wonder of being in the city, and how, no matter your age, visiting for the first time can be overwhelming and thrilling all at once.
The film ends with a glimmer of hope, proving its characters are as tough and resilient as the city itself. This is my will-watch-anytime movie, whether it pops up on cable or is available on a plane. Meryl Streep's performance is iconic, and some of the best lines have earned a permanent place in pop culture. For spring? I cannot walk by the capuchin monkeys or the T. Because it definitely comes to life. This movie, set entirely in the museum and Central Park, follows Stiller as a new security guard who watches over the museum's artifacts after everyone has gone home—except plot twist!
