New York is unquestionably a city of cinema. Omnipresent in films, it marks the 7e art from Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Godfather” trilogy to Martin Scorsese’s “Wolf of Wall Street”. Non-exhaustive selection of feature films to see before flying to the city that never sleeps.
Arriving in New York, it is impossible not to think of significant places seen in films. The 5e avenue in “Diamonds on the Sofa”, a cult film worn by the sublime Audrey Hepburn, Katz Delicatessen in the Lower East Wide where Harry and Sally dine in “When Harry Met Sally” (one of the best romantic comedies), Little Italy in ” The Godfather”, Robert De Niro’s yellow taxi in “Taxi Driver”, the Greenwich Village of the 1960s in “Inside Llewyn Davis” by the Coen brothers… All the districts, from Manhattan to Brooklyn, have inspired the greatest directors (Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Noah Baumbach…). So after having binge-watched your favorite New York series par excellence (“Sex and the City”, “Friends, “Mad Men”…), and before trying to find out what to do during a New York vacation Yorkers, here is a selection of ten films to (re)watch before a stay in the “Big Apple”.
