The Crimson King Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 New York is TV too. White Collar (aired on USA with Tim DeKay and Matt Bomer) was practically a love letter to NY in the locations and shots used. A show on now, The Righteous Reagans, uh I mean Blue Bloods also shows a lot of the town. There must be 100's more examples of this going back to the early days of television like the Naked City So with all these shows and movies being taped here, any of you ever see it done?

Damn, how did I forget Arthur. Absolutely loved that flick. They almost threw me out of the theater for laughing so hard/loud at Dudley Moore's drunken banter. And who could ever forget Gielgud's classic line: "Perhaps you'd like me to come in there to wash your dick for you?" LMFAO! At approx. 1:00 in the video below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 On 1/17/2020 at 11:32 PM, The Crimson King said: Mrs Crimson just saw this and wanted to add her two cents: West Side Story and Rear Window She also said that Saturday Night Fever is ineligible. The whole thing is made up. The movie is based on a New Yorker article by an Australian who was sent here and never left his hotel room. The characters, the style and the way they acted were all pure fiction. The venue wasn't anything more than a dive two blocks from where she grew up in Dyker Heights. Unfortunately, it caught in so big that the Odyssey became big time, kids (called China Dolls and Chisel Heads by the locals after this) started dressing and acting like it and the dance culture took over. Set back music 20 years at least. If nothing else though, the floor that Travolta danced on made it to the Guggenheim. As a Lamour metalhead teen growing up in Brooklyn at the time, hated the movie and hated disco. But the Bee Gees songs on the soundtrack are really good stuff. Oddly the Bee Gees wrote the music on spec without seeing any of the movie. The producers geave them some ideas about the plot, and they came up with the rest. Their songs hold up way better than a lot of music of any style from that time. The movie grows on me only as a piece of complete fiction. There were some very dumb cuigines back them, but from the movies you would think Brooklyn was a gorilla convention. Simply not the case . There was a lot more crossover than you might think.Sometimes Italian guys would go to rock concerts and Irish guys would go to dance clubs. "Staying Alive", the sequel, on the other hand, could be one of the worst money grab pieces of s__ ever made. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 On the Waterfront gives a gritty portrait of the docks which were once a major fixture around Manhattan. As a little kid in the early 60s, I can recall my dad taking me on the old Manhattan to Brooklyn Ferry and meeting relatives coming off ocean liners on the old docks on the West Side.

We were all long haired rockers who despised disco. I can recall lots of clubs in Brooklyn and Long Island we went to which were bastions of rock before they changed over to disco/dance joints to meet the growing demand from Saturday Night Fever. Folks forget, the Ramones as well as other "punk" bands were huge at that time and played all over that area. Wish I could rep you for reminding me of L'Amour. Think that was a club which originally began as a disco hang out but went over to rock but I may be wrong. I saw The Plasmatics, White Lion, Zebra and so many other great bands there. I miss those days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Hard to add to this list, but I’ll throw a childhood favorite, Home Alone II. Watched the sh*t out of that movie every holiday season growing up. Hell, still do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Two that showcased wealthy New Yorkers: One is the only flick where I actually liked Will Smith's performance: Six Degrees of Separation.

Some oddity that Blue Oyster Cult's record company wouldn't let them tour arenas under a certain size, so they instead pretended to be that to play local beer money shows. Only a year or 2 before , saw them on a joint bill at MSG with Dio/Black Sabbath. Think the record company knew and it was all BS, but a great show both times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Anybody ever see Lech Kowalski's Gringo? It's Alphabet City in the early '80's and it don't get any "realer:" than this one kids.

Wow, that's awesome, man. How was the gig? I could spend an hour listing all the amazing bands I saw there that we now know as famous.

BTW, any of you folks remember two obscure rock clubs on Staten Island, The Factory way the f**k out in Prince's Bay and the Rock Palace in South Beach? I saw a fantastic Ramone's show at The Factory in the days when their entire set was about 30 songs and 20 minutes. LMFAO!

"Across 110th Street" with Anthony Quinn . How about 'The French Connection" Loved those cop movies from that era. When I was in high school at Dewey, there was some kind of copy-cat shooter pinging people from across the el with (I think it was) a (high quality pellet) gun. I didn't realize that was the building where the chase started until decades later. We are from the other side, off New Utrecht where the el turns off 86th street. Closer to the baby carriage scene.
