New York films

[Jonny69]

Can anyone recommend any non-violent films based in New York? Stuf with good storylines is good :)

[Haly]

Almost all Woody Allen films excluding his more recent films. :)

Almost all good films in their own right too!

Home alone 2 : list in NY. Never seen it though!

Had a list as long as my arm until I saw 'non-violent' :p

[Jonny69]

Go on then Kits, lets have the violent ones as well. I can watch them :D

The only New York films I watch are girly ones, and I imagine you wouldn't want to watch them! :p

Was going to mention Ghostbusters/2 and Home Alone 2. The entirety of How I Met Your Mother is set in New York pretty much, and very good, but not a film.

The most recent Godzilla was I think, and part of the first X-Men film. Will try and think of more. Once Upon a Time In America is definitely set there, and excellent. IMDb top 100.

Sex and the City
Did you hear about the Morgans? Partly in NYC.
How to lose a guy in 10 days

I think confessions of a shopaholic is as well

Hmmm.

Breakfast at Tiffany's
When Harry Met Sally...
Scent of a Woman
Miracle on 34th Street

You're right Kitten, hard work when you try and think of non violent ones :)

West Side Story
Hitch
Serendipity
FAME!
Annie Hall (think that's Woody Allen as Jen said)

Of course, if it's old movies you like, you're spoilt for choice really.

I'm gonna stop now! My best mate's obsessed with the States & NY in particular, so I spend a lot of time digging stuff out for her!

Annie Hall (think that's Woody Allen as Jen said)
Yup it is :)

Fantastic film too :D
