A little clarification...
When I decided to do this series, I didn't really intend to include much (if any) commentary on living in New York. After all, I don't know what that's like yet, and it would be rather presumptuous of me to offer my commentary on that, just based on movies and a few in-person visits. I feel self-conscious enough doing what I'm doing now. So it never really occurred to me to pick movies based on those criteria. My first step was coming up with a list of iconic "New York" movies (either iconic in general or iconic to me), and then I tried to figure out how to tie them together and what to say. I also have a rather stupid, self-imposed rule that I try not to use films I've already written about. So no Barefoot in the Park or Kissing Jessica Stein (which is a movie that I suspect is closer than most NYC movies to capturing the actual experience), unless I change my mind about that.
Onward...
Woody and Diane, who may or may not be "lookin' for fun and feelin' groovy" by the 59th Street Bridge. ;-)
( I feel like we're in a Noel Coward play. Someone should be making martinis. )
