That's not how *I* remember it....
Thank you, try the veal!

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The French Connection
The Warriors
Serpico
Quick Change
After Hours
In these films, not only is NYC a character, it's the antagonist.

Because books.
More NY movies:
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Miracle on 34th Street

Ooh, The Warriors is a great example! God, it's been forever since I've seen that.
I might add The Lords of Flatbush, too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do the Right Thing
I also love New York in Keeping the Faith, but I don't know that I'd call it a great movie.

In fact, I declare Trying To Fight Your Way Across NYC to be its own genre, which includes The Warriors, After Hours, Quick Change, Escape from New York, and Harold Ramis' unproduced Ghostbusters 3 script.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Crossing Delancey reminds me of another great "Chicago" movie: Return to Me.

Art Crawl!!!
Is Green Card particularly NYC with the whole apartment plot or is that more generic urban living? (I LOVE the apartment in that movie, I think it's the real star.)

Tom totally wins.
I haven't seen Green Card, which surprises me. I love Crossing Delancey, though.

As it is in Rosemary's Baby and Single White Female.
SWF is practically apartment porn, since it's so impossible that they could live there.
