And of course some iconic NYC films that were set in Brooklyn were (presumably) left off the map, as well: Moonstruck, Do the Right Thing, Saturday Night Fever, The French Connection, Sophie's Choice, Last Exit to Brooklyn, Requim for a Dream, and many more. Let's also not forget Queens, my home borough! Although not many films are set in Queens, many are actually filmed there, no doubt because of the two major studios located in Astoria (Kaufman and Silvercup). Quintessential NYC movies, such as The Godfather, Men in Black, and Goodfellas, all had major portions filmed there. Not sure if that makes them "Queens" movies or not. Apparently, films set in Queens are popular amongst independent film-makers these days. Check out "Queens Films Are Highlight Of Tribeca Film Festival," at http://www.qgazette.com/news/2010-03-31/Features/Queens_Films_Are_Highlight_Of_Tribeca_Film_Festiva.html<br />That's OK, we Queens-ites can still claim Paul Simon, the Ramones, Martin Scorcese, Louis Armstrong, W.C. Fields, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Bassie, Tony Bennett, Bix Beiderbecke, Harry Belefonte, James Brown!, Francis Ford Coppola, Richard Feynman, Jackie Robinson, and Adrien Brody! Plus almost every other jazz great you can think of! Not bad! (Unfortunately, also Donald Trump, Howard Stern, and Nancy Reagan!)Map Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03799927167426727749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582124947210486019.post-87443419815334649542011-05-08T11:36:34.407-04:002011-05-08T11:36:34.407-04:00As everyone knows, New York City is really just Ma...As everyone knows, New York City is really just Manhattan. A Bronx Tale was filmed on Arthur Avenue but that's not actually in NYC so it didn't make this map. Maybe in the future there will be an "outer boroughs" film map.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
