- Woody Allen movies- generally take place in NY, Annie Hall is the best("neurotic? i'm relatively normal for somebody raised in Brooklyn") but Manhattan has the prettiest cinematography. Radio Days is the most
- Spike Lee movies- Crooklyn and Do The Right Thing are cinematic BK anthems shot in beautiful Ft. Green
- Saturday Night Fever- is awesome and has all these great shots of old-school South Brooklyn
- Cooley High- is this awesome movie nobody knows about Black teenagers in the 60s and has all this great soul music.
- Keeping The Faith- is this corny movie I love about a priest and a rabbi but is beautifully shot and, strangely, I find myself attracted to the woman who played Dharma
- Finding Forrester- this is the funniest and most moving film than only my friends and I love and is made by shitty director Gus Van Sant and it takes place in the boogie down Bronx.
- Next Stop, Greenwich Village- is this amazing movie nobody's ever seen written by a guy who used to make my Dad egg creams in the old neighborhood. It's about this guy who moves from Brooklyn to the village to become an actor. This is both Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum's first movie.
- 200 Cigarettes- this movie is also kinda stupid but I like it and it has every actor in it and I also like movies where they go to CBGBs.
- Brighton Beach Memoirs- this is a movie based on a Neil Simon play that is sorta corny but really good. I used to do a monolouge from this play when I was auditioning to get into high school theatre programs(unsuccessful)
- Basquiat- this movie kicks ass and actually is a great period piece about New York and David Bowie is actually really good at playing Andy Warhol
- I Shot Andy Warhol- Samesies.
- Cruel Intentions- actually I mostly used to watch this movie to beat off
- The Wackness- this movie is amazing and reminds me of real life.
- The Squid and The Whale- this movie is actually the closest a film has come to showing my life and the places I go. I don't identify that much because my parents never got divorced and I didn't grow up in Park Slope.
- The Royal Tenenbaums- this is more like Wes Anderson's fake New York(they live on 333rd and Archer Ave., which dosen't exist) but it is a true New York movie.
