Default New York films

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

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'

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

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.

Hmmm.
