6 Off My Head - My City On-Screen

.

Thinking on Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I just randomly quoted; why do I love Mag Wildwood so much?) got me thinking about how BaT was one of the movies that defined New York City to me as a kid. Made me wanna live here so doggedly. And today seems like a good choice to celebrate those movies, and this city, at least for a sec.

So here are the first six movies I thought of when thinking of movies that I saw when younger that made me wanna live here. Love you, New York.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

"I mean a girl just can't go to Sing Sing with a green face. "

Rosemary's Baby (1968)

"Awful things happen in every apartment house."

Big Business (1988)

"Is this how we dress for the office?
You look like a blood clot."

Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990)

"It's just like I always say -
if you want to find something weird,
you have to go downtown."

Manhattan (1979)

"It's brown water! I'm paying 700 dollars a month,
I got rats with bongos and a, and a frog,
and I got brown water here."

Rear Window (1954)

"When two people love each other, they come together -
WHAM - like two taxis on Broadway."
