Here’s a look at New York City in films through the ages Well, from the 1950’s until today.
How to Marry a Millionaire (Negulesco, 1953)
If you don't want to watch classic cuties Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall run around NYC trying to steal the hearts (and wallets) of the most wealthy bachelors in town, well, this film isn't for you. But who wouldn't want to. Honestly.

Breakfast at Tiffany's (Edwards, 1961)
This list would be incomplete without mention of Miss. Holly Golightly played by the always classy Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Not only did it win two academy awards but it was also selected to be preserved in the National Film Registry in 2012. So you know it's good.

The French Connection (Friedkin, 1971)
This adaptation of the non-fiction book of the same name starring Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey, and Roy Scheider was the first R-rated film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture and it's full of drugs, detectives, and intense chase scenes. Well, mostly just the one, but it's one of the best car chases in movie history.

The Godfather (Coppola, 1972)
Hopefully you've seen Francis Ford Coppola's crime film masterpiece The Godfather, but if not, all the more reason to run off and do so right now. Not only is it packed full of some of the most iconic quotes from movie history, but the American Film Institute has ranked it as the second greatest film in American cinema. Now go have a movie night with Don Corleone.
